The 49 best spots for quick bites in Dallas

The food was very good. Fast paced line and food came out about 5 minutes after ordering. Be prepared to spend quite a bit of money if you are going with multiple people. We bought the trough it came stacked with enough meat for everyone to eat on and plenty left over. The sides were good but not anything to out of the ordinary. The baked beans were the best of the sides definitely recommend. All of the meat was good and tender besides the burnt ends they were on the drier side. All around everything was good definitely had a great experience.

🔥 The Pecan Lodge – BBQ Heaven! 🔥 I’ve tried BBQ all over Texas — Houston, San Antonio, and Austin — and honestly, this place might just be the best of them all. 😍 🥩 Beef Rib: Juicy, tender, and perfectly warm — you don’t even need silverware to enjoy it. Easily one of the best I’ve ever had. 🦃 Turkey: Delicious and juicy too, with the perfect flavor balance. 🎶 Atmosphere: Great vibes all around! There’s live music, a spacious terrace, and a friendly staff that makes you feel right at home. If you’re a BBQ lover, this place is an absolute must. Come hungry, stay for the music, and you’ll leave planning your next visit.

We heard from a few people that this is THE place for Texas BBQ. The line was long but there was no wait at the bar. The food came out very quickly. The brisket and ribs were tender with good seasoning. The BBQ sauce was good and adds to the flavoring. The fried okra was fried okra. I would recommend a different sides. The slushy margarita was delicious on a hot day but getting the swirl of flavoring was not worth the extra $4. The classic margarita would’ve been just fine. Overall the food was good. If there’s a short line or seatings at the bar, try it!

One of the contenders for the top pitmaster in deep ellum. The brisket was both tender and moist with plenty of smoke. Some of the best I have had. The burnt ends was less consistent. Some are juicy while others were dry. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Good alcohol pairings for great bbq.

Family and I are big time bbq eaters. This was our first time here and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Our party had 6 adults and 1 child. We opted for 3 lbs of beef ribs, 0.5 lbs pork ribs and 0.5 lbs brisket. 1 qt. jalapeño mac and cheese, fries, Okra, and beans. -Beef ribs: 7.5/10. These ribs were full of meat and easily came off the bone. They had a good smokey flavor. They were full of flavor! -Pork ribs: 5/10. Although they had good flavor, they were very chewy and were harder to take off the bone. The ribs were very small and had very little meat on them. -Brisket: 8/10. This was the best flavored food! They might have overdone it just a bit with the strong smokey flavor, but it was very well seasoned. Easy to cut into and very moist. The sides weren’t amazing just ok. The favorite for us all was the Mac and cheese. Didn’t have a strong jalapeño taste and had a good consistency. Overall, we definitely got our moneys worth. The tangy sauce is what really held everything together. The homemade lemonade mixed with tea was great. We wouldn’t be opposed to eating here again :)

Not sure we're to start. The pork ribs was a big disappointment. No flavor and hard to swallow. They looked good for the eyes only. The Brisket was dry also with no flavor. The pulled pork was okay just full of fat so you have to pick through it. The Mac was okay. The beans was okay. The okra was cold a hard. Peach cobbler let's just say I ate the peaches. We were highly disappointed. The BBQ was made with 0 effort one was super watery and sweet like sugar water with a mixture of sauce. The thicker sauce was okay. $98 down the drain. We tried our best to give it a fair taste every bite was more disappointing. What BBQ place charge for initial bread. It doesn't matter that is .75 per slice its the point. I expected it to be close to Terry Blacks, Not even close. Best part we did get our cold food fast as there was no line on a Sunday. Will never return.

Went here after visiting the Bush museum for some lunch. I had researched the top BBQ places in Dallas and this one came up so I gave it a try. Definitely has awesome vibes with live music and cool staff. But the food was just… eh. I ordered a two meat plate with brisket and pulled pork plus macaroni and cheese as my side. First, the mac and cheese was delectable. Easily the best part of the meal. The brisket on the other hand was very fatty. Not sure if that’s how Texans like it or not. The pulled pork was mostly really good, but a few parts were super burnt. It was also served with a side of onions (yay!) and pickles (yuck). I guess everything in Texas comes with pickles if you don’t specify. The food was just… okay. For what I paid I expected a lot better, hence the rating.

I visited Texas a couple of weeks ago and ended up at Velvet Taco twice because my hotel was nearby — and because the tacos were just that good. They have some really unique and creative options like Chicken & Waffle, Spicy Tikka Chicken, Korean Fried Rice, and Bacon Smash Burger. I stuck with the Angus Brisket taco, and it was incredibly flavorful. They also have a couple of spicy sauces on the side, which I tried because I love heat — highly recommend. The chips and queso were another highlight. In fact, they were so good that my friend and I ordered them again on our second visit. One thing that really stood out was the service: when we ran out of chips but still had queso left, I went to buy more, and a man behind the counter gave me another bag free of charge. That’s the kind of small gesture that leaves a big impression. There’s also an outdoor seating area, and both times I visited it wasn’t too busy. Overall, excellent food, great service, and I’d absolutely come back next time I’m in town.

We have been to Velvet Taco before, but this was the first time at the Deep Ellum location. We went during the day for lunch. Super clean, safe atmosphere, short lines, and great food. From the bowl to the chips and guac, everything we got was tasty and well presented. The one bummer was they never called out my number or name letting me know my meal was ready. After the others at my table were half-way done eating their meals, I finally went up to inquire. That's when I see her scrolling her phone while my meal was waiting there getting cold. Yikes..

Food is delicious, and they accommodate the club crowd. I love the unique menu. Thanks for being open. This location is really safe inside the restaurant. The staff were cool. However, parking is the issue. If you park in the prepaid lot behind Velvet Taco, please pay. They have young dudes watching and alerting the tow truck driver. The tow truck will pull up to your vehicle while you are getting food. Also, this parking lot is not safe from hit and runs. I witnessed it one night. A big truck hit a parked Mustang and drove off. I got his license plate number for the Mustang owner.

First time at the Velvet Taco. I was hesitant to try fusion of Indian flavor with Mexican cuisine but I am glad I did. I loved two tacos which I got. I will go back to try some more.

Ordered delivery and even though there was a delay (from the driver not the restaurant), the items were still pretty tasty. Solid flavors though the chicken Tikka was more rice than chicken. Elote was great!

Came in with a large group and ordered the two Taco combo. It took over 30 minutes for us to place our order as the front counter service was very slow. Once the food arrive though is quite tasty. The brisket and pork tacos were fantastic, the nacho chips that came with the order were very salty, and the side elote that I had was fantastic. Overall a great experience and the restaurant is in a nice area to have a walk around afterwards

Absolutely delicious! The Say What?! Combo is the BEST! It comes with two tacos of choice, elotes & blue corn tortilla chips, and a canned soda. The tacos were flavorful, and everything tasted so fresh and delicious. Please note: There are tiny bones in the Rotisserie Chicken tacos, please be careful. I can’t wait to order from this location again.

My burger was very delicious. I ordered the Blue Goat burger since I was in the mood to try something different from a basic burger and it didn't disappoint! The burger patty was juicy and all of the flavors from the Bleu cheese slaw, caramelized onions and the garlic mayo were perfect together. I also had some of their french fries with a side of their ranch, so so good! I really liked the seasoning on the fries too. We were also there with a pretty big group, about 30 or so and the service was excellent for such a large group. The manager also brought food out, checked on us and took group pics for us. It was bar top style seating so we took up 4 or so rows of tables, which worked out fine for our group. The food came out fast and they refilled drinks often.

Food is great. Seating is okay. Mostly high tops with large tables and tall stools. There are some regular tables but not many. Service is good but they are very busy and it's hard to get their attention. The portions of fries are huge with the burgers being of expected size. Everyone loved what they ordered. The cowboy caviar is AMAZING!

I hadn't visited in a while. There was a table available for our group. The food was amazing as always. I ordered the Sundance burger- had a fried mozzarella square and strawberry jam....it was so good. The fries were also seasoned well and tasty. I'll visit again when in the area.

We were attending the Dallas Market for Apparel and ate here. So good. Service was great, cool ambience and great options on the menu. I had the mule to drink and the Naan's Goat burger or something like that lol, so good, love the goat cheese and delicious meat!

A gem i must say for lunch or for a casual biz meeting. Wide selection of drinks and burgers. Enjoyed the recommendations by the staff and the speedy service. Enjoy and disconnect from the everyday hustle. Cheers!

Wanted a good burger so I decided to try this place-and the burger was soooo good! They have a great selection of ciders which paired great with my burger-and sweet potato fries. My gf got a shake and said it was rich and had just the right resistance thought the straw. Service was to be desired, it’s as if she didn’t want to be at work, I understand we all have bad days but I don’t recall her telling us her name, she was very dismissive and short when I asked her recommendations, and she had the same sour puss face the entire night (and we closed the place down)!

Hands down one of the best burgers I’ve had my wife and I ordered this place after we landed from our our flight in oh my goodness the flavor the bun ratio was perfect. The sauce ratio was perfect. Just everything just seems so fresh probably one of the best burgers I think I’ve ever had very, very good.

Absolutely love this place. Every time I’m in town, I love to stop by here. Every time I’ve been, the workers have been friendly and seem like they genuinely enjoy their jobs. I’ve never had a bad burger here and I’m a big pickle fan so the pickle bar is a total plus. The way they plate their burgers is great and it makes the food look very appetizing (and it tastes just as good!!!). They were playing some major bops on whatever speaker system they had and once I was with my dad and they said whoever brought their dad’s wallet to the counter first got a free float and they stuck to their word. It was a very fun and engaging visit and me and my dad still joke about it to this day.

Guy Fiery approved ! This place is DELICIOUS ! From the moment we walked in -to the moment we left we had great service. I loved the FREE help yourself pickle barrel bar & watermelon iced tea ( tasted like a jolly rancher) ! The atomic pickle flavor was my fav. They have a wide variety of selections and modifications are easy without any fuss. They offer game of the day such as antelope , deer etc. Gluten free , vegetarian & vegan options available. One of the best vegan burger patty’s I’ve had ! ( I opted for lettuce wrap) Everything was soooo good . The “in house” sauces like “root beer bbq “ & “chipotle ketchup” hit the spot. They call your order out by music artist , really fun ( we got prince) . Highly recommend for all your burger cravings.

Definitely worth repeating visits! Everything from their traditional All American Burger to their more unique creations and all their sides are incredibly delicious! Don't forget to try every flavor pickle they have available because they're all so good. And don't skip out on the shakes either, they are the perfect consistency and the flavors really pop! Every visit the service has been stellar, even through it's counter service. The staff still takes the time to check on guests while they're dining in. And if you're getting a to go order? Every order is checked thoroughly! Check em out!

Twisted Root Burger Co. nails the “classic burger joint” vibe and the flavors to match. The Turducken—beef patty + fried chicken + fried egg steals the show, but the crisp hand-punched fries with house chipotle ketchup and a smooothe vanilla shake hit just as hard. Even the standard All-American bacon cheeseburger is dialed-in perfection. Parking’s tight during construction, but it’s worth the small hassle for a knockout lunch.

The onion rings were lukewarm to cold, but the burger was actually quite good, the service was very good and attentive, I recommend this restaurant.

Absolutely love this place. Every time I’m in town, I make sure to stop by. The staff is always friendly and genuinely seems to enjoy their work. I’ve never had a bad burger here, and as a big pickle fan, the pickle bar is a total plus. The way they plate the burgers makes them look amazing — and they taste just as good! They were even playing some great music during my visit, which made the whole atmosphere even better. Definitely one of my go-to spots in Dallas.

Perfect burger. I got the classic with grilled onions and fries. I loved the burger but the fries and ranch were real standouts. The fries were fresh and seasoned to perfection, the ranch had a distinct pepper flavor that helps separate it’s flavor from a lot of other ranches I tried. Gotta say. If you are a burger fan and want a delicious meal, this is the place to go.

Well...I have been meaning to visit this establishment for many years, and I am so glad that I did. First of all, to get there I had to drive through parts of Dallas that I have never been to in the past 23 years that I have lived here. Seems like gentrification is STRONG in this part of town. In spite of all that, Jimmy's vibe feels like it has been there through every recent and not so recent neighborhood developments. We picked, I think, a lucky time to visit - Thursday afternoon at about 1pm. Parking was easy (street), and there were not too many people in the store. When you walk in, you instantly feel like you belong. There is nothing pretentious about the environment. It feels cozy and inviting. The space is packed with fresh produce, frozen premades, refrigerated house sauces and such. Of course, the main attraction is the deli. Lots of different cuts of meats and sausages, etc...Next time I go back I will need to spend more time exploring the different deli offerings, but I was feeling a little overwhelmed, so the counter person directed my attention to a more simplified menu. My barometer sandwich is always an Italian. I gave my order and then killed 15 minutes browsing the groceries before my name was called. Sandwiches had a decent heft...we took them outside and stood at a small table and ate. The bread was fresh, the deli cuts were tasty and didn't overpower each other. I added lettuce, pickles, mustard, chili tomatoes, and vinaigrette. All of the flavors came together, especially in the middle of the sandwich. Really reminded me of the Grinders I used to get from real delis back in the day before Subway and it's ilk. If you are planning on visiting, then I will say don't hesitate! Fair warning, there does not seem to be any sort dedicated dining area. I will definitely be going back. Next sandwich will most likely be a meatball or sausage or combo of each. Btw, banana split cream soda hit just right.

I came into this shop early for the best selection of meat from the butcher, but I ended up finding out people line up for their sandwiches which were delicious. Staff were friendly and the overall service had a southern hospitality feel. Their prices were fair especially since the sandwiches were so good. I sampled their sausage offerings and from a traditional butcher they have good quality. Overall this is a great place to visit for good quality meat or a delicious sandwich.

I had a great experience getting food from Jimmy’s. I got the calabrese panino which was fantastic and much bigger than expected. It was flavored well and the bread was nicely toasted making it exactly what I hoped for. Despite multiple people being there, the sandwich was prepared quickly and I enjoyed walking around the store while waiting. I also got a cannoli which was delicious. It wasn’t too sweet or rich making it a very enjoyable dessert. Overall, I had a fantastic experience here and would definitely return for another sandwich. I’m also eager to try their selection of meats, cheeses, and wines.

Ordered the Italian beef sandwich and the Muffuletta. The sandwiches were good. The beef sandwich was on the salty side. This was my first time having a Muffuletta. I liked the sandwich. It's a big sandwich even for a 6 inch. If you better like olives, that's about all I could really taste. It's a small store with the sandwiches in the back with the deli meats and cheeses. It can get very busy and cramped. When it's busy, the parking is bad. The staff still made the sandwiches very quickly. I would suggest ordering ahead. There are no tables.

First time at jimmys and there is so much to look at and buy! We got an Italian sub and an Italian beef and they start taking sandwich orders at 10am. Staff was friendly, can’t wait to come by again and grab another Italian beef

Best sandwich shop ever. So authentic, family run and taste like a salad in a sandwich when u bite in it, It's so good!!! The place is also clean and there's also a store in it and has fresh produce and stuff imported from italy

Popular Italian deli, similar to what you would find in New York City. Old world feel, there's nothing else like it in Dallas-Fort Worth. Best coffee ever. The surrounding area used to be a little sketchy, however, that's changing rapidly.

We came to Perry’s Steakhouse in Dallas because of the amazing reviews, and it definitely lived up to the hype. The vibe was great, and we sat outside where it felt like we had the whole space to ourselves. To be honest, the service started off a little rough, surprisingly so for a place with such high ratings. But mistakes happen. The real magic came when I asked for the manager, and Elizabeth showed up. She was an absolute angel, listened to our concerns, and fixed everything immediately. From there, Oscar stepped in and completely turned the night around. They saved the evening and made it feel like a 6-star restaurant. The food was incredible—we ordered the steak flight, and every bite was mouthwatering. To top it off, the espresso martinis were some of the best I’ve ever had. Highly recommend Perry’s if you’re in Dallas. We’ll definitely be back.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️☆ 4/5 Had lunch at Perry’s Steakhouse & Grille and it lived up to its reputation for great food and service. Started with the Filet Mignon Lettuce Wraps tasty but not standout, and the odd number of pieces made sharing tricky. The Friday Pork Chop Lunch Special is the real star here: absolutely massive, tender, and perfectly cooked. The mashed potatoes, applesauce, and sides of Brussels Sprouts and Asparagus were all excellent. Service was top-notch, attentive, friendly, and perfectly timed. We finished with coffee and a Champagne Biscuit Charlotte, which was pleasant but not memorable. Overall, great service and a fantastic main course make this a solid 4 out of 5. I’ll definitely return to try the dinner version soon.

The atmosphere was nice, but the food didn’t really live up to the price. The New York steak came with no sauce, and the meat was a bit tough and dry. One of the side dishes had a strange taste, though the shrimp and fries were pretty good, and the pasta was decent. It took about 30 minutes for the drinks to arrive and around 40 minutes for the food. Maybe it just depends on what you order, but overall, it wasn’t quite worth the long wait or the price.

Unbelievable experience. 39 year wedding anniversary dinner. Fine dining is all about show business and this restaurant put on a award winning show. Eddie our server was exceptional and each of his recommendations were exactly as he described. One of the thing that sets a restaurant apart for me is to see managers on the floor checking with patrons. We met Victoria first and she checked with us at least 3 times and DP checked in on us as well. Atmosphere, service and price point value will bring us back soon, not to mention the enormous pork chop that was cooked perfect, seasoned to perfection and so tender/moist. My wife had the Beef Wellington and it was a show stopper as well.

This restaurant is a place where you can have both family gatherings and business meetings, although not very often because prices are on the higher side. However, it is clear that what they sell here is not only excellent food, but also an entire experience. The service provided by Bri and the manager Antonio was truly special, making every detail stand out. They made us feel welcome and comfortable, turning that moment into something we will remember for a long time.

The red fish is absolutely fabulous, everyone else has the pork chop which is extremely large and in charge. The pineapple ginger ale was perfect and refreshing…add grenadine for an uplifting experience. I call it the blossom. First it was Des Blossom but I think The Blossom is more fitting. Created by me!! The no flour cake will take you on a mouth watering ride of luxury!!!

Lovely vibe in middle of downtown next to well lit buildings around 830pm. Great interior of 1st and 2nd floor seating -Really liked the pork BBQ starter skewers. Sweet enough without the bbq sauce -Perrys house sparkling champagne w biscuit was delicious w dipping -Honestly, the main steak was good. But the outer crust tasted pretty salty that I could not enjoy the meat itself. Tried dipping it to A1 bbq sauce but that worsened it. -I would recommend the cold seafood tower! Fresh oysters and pretty ample salmon pieces to share all around. -Cool dessert fire show when you order Banana sugar frosting w ice cream and caramel drizzle! -Oh and semi casual dress code!

I came here on Mother’s Day to treat my mom, and it was an excellent choice. She absolutely loved the sushi and the drinks — everything was incredibly fresh and delicious. Despite how busy it was, the staff remained friendly and attentive, providing quick and efficient service. The atmosphere was lovely and welcoming. We had a great time, and I’m definitely planning to come back again soon!

Uchi Dallas is one of those places that somehow lives up to the hype—every single time. The food is always incredible, with flavors that are unexpected in the best way. It’s the kind of spot that works just as well for a business dinner as it does for a night out with friends. The food is next level, the drinks are spot-on, and the whole vibe is modern but still welcoming. You can also eat upstairs at their other concept, and honestly, both are amazing. Highly recommend if you’re into food that surprises you—in a really good way. EVERYTHING is REALLY good.

I usually don't write reviews for restaurants, and I never expected to find such a great sushi place in Dallas! This place has very high quality sushi. It was one of the best sushi I've ever tasted including all the sushi place I've ever been to in NYC, Japan, and Korea included. My server, Dani, was super knowledgeable and was genuinely a nice person. The dessert was also very interesting as well. I would definitely visit again if I'm in Dallas!

After having tried both Uchiko and Uchibā (Uchi sister restaurants) in Austin, we had to try Uchi in Dallas. It did not disappoint. We had the “somakase” which is a cool little option they have if you want to try multiple things but are worried that the chef’s tasting may be too little or too much food but also don’t really want to make decisions. Essentially the way it works is that your server will choose dishes for you based on your hunger level, budget, and preferences. You can do as many or as few as you’d like and if there is something you really like you can just ask for more of it. The service at the Uchi restaurants is always top notch and we love how everyone works together as one cohesive unit marking the service appear seamless from the delivery of the dishes to the clearing of plates and ensuring your beverages are always full. The food is timed perfectly so that the wait between courses is neither too long or too short. Empty plates are taken immediately after you have finished so that they are not sitting on the table for long periods of time. Service is smooth, efficient, and friendly and never seems cold or rushed. The food makes this one of our favorite restaurants to dine in as we always thoroughly enjoy our meals here. The food is based in Japanese cuisine with interesting twists and flavor combinations. Overall an excellent experience. Atmosphere: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Food: 5/5 Overall Value: 5/5 Total: 5/5 Price: $$$$ (prices vary based on what you order and how much you eat. We ate A LOT) $: $0 - $50 per person $$: $50 - $100 per person $$$: $100 - $200 per person $$$$: $200 - $500 per person $$$$$: $500+ per person

One of the best Sushi Restaurants I have ever had. Everything was amazing and delicious. We were there for 5 days in Dallas and we went twice to the same place.

One of the best fine dining places in Dallas. Cocktail list is small but very good. Highly recommend the Lychee Martini. They have a separate vegetarian menu. Uchi salad was very flavorful. Also recommend the crispy tofu maki, spicy crunchy and shag. Mango tapioca was great as well.

I love Uchi and go a couple times a year since it’s close to home and always a reliable choice. The construction around it has been going on forever, so the area’s kind of a mess, but the food makes up for it. They keep a pretty high standard and most of what I’ve had is great. We did the omakase once and it was definitely creative, but a little too out there for me. One of the dishes was literally called “pond water,” which was a bit much. I’d rather do omakase at Shoyo or Tatsu. That said, Uchi’s great for fun bites like the Hama Chili, and their cocktails are always really good. Overall, it’s a fun spot for sushi!

We hadn’t been to crushcraft Thai Eats since they moved to their current location. The space is bright, colorful, and there is plenty of indoor seating and a large covered patio area. You order and pick up at the counter as well as bus your own table. But the staff is friendly and they cook up the food in a timely manner. The food itself is very good. The flavors are authentic and the portions are generous. If you’re craving tasty Thai food with an elevated fast food vibe, then head over to the Quad. You’ll be glad you did!

I love the food here. Everything I have ever ordered here came out delicious. The counter service is great and their patio is really nice and relaxing. My wife and I love to go here after a walk on the Katy trail and it never disappoints. For the vegetarians and Vegans out there, the tofu here is top notch.

The first 2-3 times I had this place, it was great. I order the OG Phat Thai with chicken everytime. Each time I ordered, it was consistent in flavor and texture. The last two times I’ve gone it has not been the same. The first time, the noodles were overcooked and it tasted different than it normally does. I politely asked for a remake (because of course, when you’re craving your favorite place, you want it to taste the same), got a bit of back and forth from the cashier but they ultimately remade it and it was perfect, what I’m used to. Today I went, same thing, did not have the same taste and texture. I ask the cashier for a remake, stating the noodles tasted overcooked. She takes the bag to the chef and I overhear them (loudly) saying the noodles are not overcooked and that this is how they normally are. The cashier (the lady who answers the phone and usually wears a hat with a ponytail) also proceeds to say “she does this all of the time,” (I’ve asked for a remake once). The chef says back “if she does this again, you come get me.” I thought to pull out a photo of the noodles I’ve gotten in the past to show the difference but I was blown away by the unprofessionalism especially since I asked nicely. My noodles normally look like the photo attached but the last two times my meal didn’t have as much “sauce/flavoring/color” and the noodles have been very soft when they normally aren’t. I’m not sure if this relates to them making the noodles in bulk during rush hours. I spoke with the other cashier Chailendra to ask for a refund, she was very nice and processed my refund while they talked about me in the kitchen. This was my favorite place to come for good Thai, hopefully the customer service improves. The “us versus the customer,” mentality drives business away no matter how good the food is.

The atmosphere is welcoming. Open kitchen and everything made to order. Service was great. We got sunny B salad. Very light dressing, fresh crunchy vegetables and perfectly fried tofu. It was great. The drunken noodles with tofu was very flavorful and cooked to perfection. The khra See Ew dish with tofu was my favorite. It was packed with with flavor.

Crushcraft is a gem of a Thai spot in Uptown. The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, making the experience feel personal and inviting from the moment you walk in. The food tastes incredibly fresh, with bold, authentic flavors that stand out. The papaya salad was a highlight—crisp, tangy, and perfectly balanced with just the right kick of heat. Grabbing a quick dinner on a Sunday night turned out to be a fantastic experience — I’ll definitely be coming back!

The freshest ingredients with amazing flavor! Excellent service! Great atmosphere! We dined on the patio for lunch. We will be returning.

I have been a loyal customer here for nearly three years. Food is great (I like everything on the menu!), staff is polite, place is clean. I took my mom here when she visited from out of the country, and it’s her favorite restaurant in the USA! Veggies are fresh, each dish includes lots of meat, and I’ve never been disappointed no matter what I order. Price is also reasonable.👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

First time here. I really enjoyed my chicken grapow which has authentic flavors IMO versus the Americanized one typical here, good portions and fast efficient service. Parking is on the other side of a building in a paid lot they will validate.

What an amazing little spot. My absolute favorite is Bangkok Inn, but this place is a must have if you love Thai food. Too good and the staff is amazing and so nice. Check it out!!

I spent about a month in Isaan province of Thailand about 15 years ago, returned to NYC where I lived for 20 years and enjoyed authentic Thai food from various regions there, it’s much easier to do there, you hop on a train and wind up at one. Here, it’s tricky. You read a review, and maybe John or Suzy don’t know wtf they’re talking about, maybe they like sweet food, or think Taco Bell is spicy, but then you find a place like Ka-Tip. Or rather your ex-girlfriend does, one evening when she visits you and you stay in a nearby hotel, to catch Marc Maron at the theatre. Ka-Tip is unassuming when you get inside and you’d never know, but it’s some of the best Thai food in the state. Doesn’t matter what dish, just pick one and then come back for others. Haven’t had a bad dish yet. Been sporadically getting dinners here for years now. I borked my ankle up over last weekend and last night I just didn’t feel it or have enough variety of ingredients to make a sound meal at home, my usual, and I had a delicious meal from them delivered at home. It seems pricey, but I’m telling you, you get what you pay for, especially with the seafood dishes which have always been fresh seafood, which, as a former chef, surprised the hell out of me the first time I had one of the seafood heavy dishes. But it shouldn’t, because these wonderful people, came here for a better life and missed their food and wanted to share with others and make a living. What’s wrong with that? Nothing I tell ya. Bon Appetito.

Such a wonderful experience going here for the first time! The shop is decorated so cozy and inviting - they’ve got a great patio too! The ladies working there are so friendly and accommodating, and the food is phenomenal! Great presentation and flavor - they really put their heart and soul into it. My new favorite spot for Thai!

Real Thai flavor! Compliments to the Chef! Why not Upgrade your service and presentation by using real and nice plates instead of paper disposable bowls/plates. Environmentally conscious especially in a farmers market.

Absolutely! Here’s a more relaxed, humanized version of your review while keeping the positive tone intact: --- This little spot is so cute and cozy, located near the Farmer's Market and close to Downtown Dallas. There’s plenty of seating inside and a nice patio for when the weather’s good. The menu is pretty affordable, too. We were welcomed by Yuyee, who recommended a few dishes for us to try. I’d definitely ask about the spice level when you order, though! She even let us try some of their teas, which was a nice touch. I really enjoyed the vibe here, and I’m so glad I finally decided to check it out. We also picked up a couple of Thai snacks to go. I’ll definitely be back! 😋 **Fri 02/10/2023** – Came back, and Yuyee greeted us right away 😊. We chatted a bit, and she told us this is a family-owned spot that gets pretty busy on weekends. I had the Pad Thai, and when Yuyee saw Kim’s order, she asked if she was getting the same thing. I was really impressed she remembered us and what we ordered last time—that’s pretty awesome! Lunch was delicious, and the portions were more than generous. Great experience overall! I highly recommend you stop by and give it a try. 👍👍 --- Let me know if you want to tweak it more or adjust the tone for a specific platform!

This is not only the best Thai food I’ve ever eaten, but the best food. I have been to all three locations and all of them have amazing staff, clean interiors and the food is consistent in all three places. I drive over an hour to eat here, have brought many friends and family from out of state and all say it is the best. So grateful for great food!

If you want authentic Mexican food, go Sundays and have the brunch buffet. It’s worth every penny, homemade dishes to choose from and you can keep getting as much as you can eat. The señoritas who cook the food will make you feel like you are at home with fresh tortillas and fresh lemon water and coffee. Didn’t get to enjoy everything they had but definitely returning for more!

Yes, the octopus tacos are great. We had both kinds. I liked the flavors on the pulpo better than the pulpo pastor. Also loved the chicken birria tacos. Great combo. Brisket is a great choice, too. It's in a fun area of Dallas with lots of options. Service was good. They have a nice bar area and plenty of space outside for dining.

My party of 3 came in early on a Saturday, service and food was just okay, I was expecting better flavor for the hype and upscale price. I may come back to try their Sunday brunch, maybe that will be a better option.

Food is great. Tacos were made fresh and authentic with quality ingredients. Service was also excellent. I was the only person in the shop early in the evening and the staff gave me different hobenero sauces to try and all were great

This Deep Ellum taco bar has gotten a fair share of very positive press over the years, and the food here is quite good. The tacos are fresh and inventive, delivered on excellent handmade tortillas. Service here was a little off on my visit, however. It seems like servers are matching the quality of service more to the intentionally casual “street taco bar” atmosphere than the high menu prices dictate. That said, if you are in the area and don’t mind paying the elevated prices for great tacos and beer in a dive bar space, it’s a good option.

Great spot for tacos and such an amazing vibe. I came here on a Wednesday evening in January and they had the garage doors opens. Love the plants and overall feel. What was a bit of a damper was the amount of unfortunate individuals that were not well and asking us constantly for money or help. The staff here was gracious and kind in how they handled them but we had to keep an attentive eye on our stuff and couldn’t relax fully. As for the food, amazing. Get all the tacos! The shrimp and octopus was my favourite. Love the vegetarian ones too. The sauces are so flavourful. Service here is fantastic and highly recommend coming here

Best Al Pastor tacos I've had in Texas!

While the alcoholic drinks and chips and salsa were excellent—the salsa has a great kick and the chips are among the best I’ve had—the overall dining experience fell short. I didn’t enjoy any of the main dishes, and unfortunately, I will not be returning. It’s worth noting that many of the dishes have undergone recipe changes, which I wasn’t made aware of until after the food was served. That’s something I believe should be disclosed upfront—either on the menu or while ordering—not after the fact. On a positive note, the service was outstanding. The staff was very attentive, and food arrived in five minutes or less, which I appreciated. Still, given the disconnect between the menu and the actual dishes served, the food simply didn’t meet expectations.

Juan Diego was our server and made our dining experience A+. He was friendly and attentive. The manager stopped by to say happy birthday too and check on our dining experience. There is parking available with validated tickets; beautiful outside seating, a dream place; food was exquisite and tasty. The hostess also was a very friendly and welcoming person. Restaurant is beautiful, clean and offers great ambiance

Came here for a late lunch with friends and had the best experience! Belinda was our server and she was very personable and attentive! While waiting for our appetizers, the manager Fernando brought over tacos de aguacate for us to try! Although it’s a simple dish it was so good! The avocado was perfect and the handmade tortillas were amazing!! I sadly was not able to try the cochinita pibil but I got the pollo con mole! I loved it! The portions are huge!! I loved the plantains that it came with! I love authentic mexican food and you can tell that everything here is fresh and made with care! It’s a beautiful restaurant with great food and a great staff! Will be returning the next time we’re in Dallas for sure!

Danny was our server and she was absolutely fabulous. Everything she suggested we loved. This was our first time in Dallas and they really made us feel welcome. The food was absolutely amazing. Absolute best guava margarita I’ve ever had.

Amazing service, beautiful ambiance, and even better food! Everything we tried today was absolutely delicious. From the moment we walked in, Hugo, the GM, made us feel so welcome and provided top-notch hospitality. Our server, Belinda, was wonderful and made sure we had a great experience. We can’t wait to come back soon!

The service was very good, food was plentiful and tasty. Drinks were also very well made. We will be returning. Well worth the money. They do validate parking, if you park on the lot, just ask the hostess for a validation.

It was our first time coming here and we were blown away. We came for my birthday dinner, and Ruben the manager and Nancy our waitress were so friendly, telling us about the menu and the service. At the end of the dinner, they brought out a delicious slice of chocolate cake withorn ice cream, which I've never had before but was pleasantly surprised by! Can't recommend enough. Food was incredible, service was great, 10/10 I'll be back.

Our First visit... So disappointing our pizza had to get completely cold before we could find someone to get some extra sauce or pizza was almost sauce-less. I kept telling us No... 5 people later!!! We got some squad!! But the pizza was absolutely fantastic So much to choose from!! Enormous shrimp, and lobster tails. AGAIN... Cold food, hot food, food to stay, food to go Yum Yum Yum

Great little deli with a lot of yummy food inside. Amazing sandwiches and salads both pre-made and custom. Large variety of drinks and bread. Also the sweets are delicious, particularly the key lime pie, chocolate cake and my favorite the huge cinnamon roll. You get what you pay for though and you get a lot. In my opinion we'll worth it!

A fun and pretty affordable food option for people looking for either a fresh sandwich or salad. I enjoyed how many options they offer but I wish there were some suggested sandwiches so you didn’t have to think so much.

It’s not often that I see extraordinary customer service. So, I was surprised when I had to return something to Eatzies on Oak Lawn. The manager was kind and discrete. She acknowledges that the item had a problem. And quickly offered to replace it or return my money. This, on a crazy Texas OU weekend and at lunchtime. I asked if there was water, to which the girl quickly called the back to get , asking if I wanted ice. We ate in the back, and the girl working the very busy counter saw that my husband’s tea was low and quietly took it, put more ice in it and tea a put back on our table. It’s mind boggling. They deserve praise for their level of service.

Disclaimer – I have been eating here before there was ever a social media in existence. I have been eating here when I was in college and the Internet is just becoming a thing. I used to eat here multiple times a week. In my eyes, these people can do no wrong. It was the most affordable and delicious food for a student eat. When I stop by, I still find the prices extremely reasonable and the food just as healthy as ever. My pictures and videos can’t do it justice. It’s a huge selection and no matter your diet, there will be something here for you.

Subject: Unacceptable Experience – Poor Quality, Rude Staff, and Unsanitary Conditions To the Eatzi’s Oak Lawn Team, I’m writing to express our serious disappointment with a recent visit, and to share why we won’t be returning. We came in to purchase a cake for our sister’s birthday after having a fantastic experience with a previous one. Unfortunately, what we received this time was an embarrassment. The cake was dry, flavorless, and clearly not made with the same level of care or quality. It was a major letdown on a day that was meant to be special. On top of that, the customer service was awful. The staff was rude, unhelpful, and acted like we were a burden rather than paying customers. There was no basic courtesy or professionalism. And to make matters worse, as we considered purchasing additional food, we caught a glimpse into the kitchen area. What we saw was completely unacceptable. dirty floors and visible mold on the shelving. After seeing that, we immediately decided not to buy anything else. It was disturbing and completely undermined any confidence we had in the cleanliness or safety of your food. We came in expecting quality and hospitality. Instead, we left disappointed, frustrated, and concerned. I’m not looking for a gift card or apology template, I just want you to know how far this experience fell from what Eatzi’s used to represent.

I ordered a 9-inch cake, but they sent me a 4-inch instead. There’s no option for a refund—what bad service! I’ve been ordering the same cake every month, and this has never happened before.

Solid burgers, a good brisket sandwich, and great beer-batter onion rings. The food was prepared quickly and they bus the tables. It’s definitely a top 5 burger joint in Dallas.

Excellent Burger and Fries/onion rings at Maple and Motor. The burger was juicy delicious! Great customer service. The interior of restaurant has much charm and a unique atmosphere! Many other items on menu. Highly recommend fir a unique experience with great food.

After arriving at Dallas Love Field, we decided to grab lunch at Maple and Motor. The parking lot isn’t very big, so finding a spot can be a bit tricky. If it's full, you might be able to park at the Starbucks across the street for overflow. Walking in, the place gives off that old-school charm, kind of like those diners, drive-ins, and dives with Guy Fieri's signature. It definitely kept its classic vibe. We ordered the half-pound bacon cheeseburger, made with finely ground American beef, flat-grilled in its own juices. It was topped with all the Texas essentials: bacon, pepper Jack cheese, grilled red onions, lettuce, and ketchup. Honestly, it was one of the best burgers I’ve had in Dallas, served on a hot, toasted bun that had been perfectly grilled. The flavor of the burger and the quality of the bun were both fantastic. The fries we got as a side were good, but next time, I think I’ll try the onion rings instead.

As soon as we landed in Dallas, Maple & Motor was recommended. In less than 10 minutes, we were walking into a small burger joint to order at the counter and slide into a booth. The interior is painted in dark tones and has large windows in the front illuminating the space. The burgers and fries were beautiful! The burger buns were so soft and fluffy, the patty and the flavors were fresh and mended perfectly. The jalapeños and carrots on the fries had subtle heat and the cheese was real!

I found this place on Google and loved all the great reviews…especially the ones referring to these as the best burgers in the DFW area. I personally didn’t agree with that, but my nephew and father thought the burgers were great! I felt they could have been seasoned a little more and were a little too dry for me. We tried the fries, tots and onion rings. The onion rings were definitely the best, with the tots being the runner up. The fries were just okay. We could have gone without them. I liked the different flavor options on their soda machine. The bathroom could use a little tlc; it looked a little scary. However the vibe of the restaurant was cute and customer service was on point.

We asked a local who had the best burger in Dallas, and they were so right! Enjoyed every bite, and the service was friendly! If in Dallas, bring a hat to leave and enjoy the burgers!

Nothing fancy or pretentious here, just outstanding juicy meaty burgers! Make sure you have plenty of napkins. Everything hot and fresh delivered to your table after you order at the counter. Sides are excellent as well, onion rings and french fries.

This was my first time at this Emporium Pies location but my second time at an Emporium Pies and I was slightly underwhelmed. I got the Bonnie + Pie’d and they didn’t even ask if I wanted it here or to go, they just boxed it up to go. I then went to open it right away at one of the tables inside and I’m not sure if this is what all the pies look like or if this is what this one is supposed to look like but it was falling over and presented poorly. For a positive, it tasted good! We were given wooden forks in the to go package and they were a bit uncomfortable to use after a few bites. The customer service was fine, nothing special and unfortunately their only restroom was out of service. I was hoping for a slightly better experience given the raving reviews.

Oh my pie! What a cute spot. And the pie tasted even better than this place looks. Lots of options. We went with the chocolate and peach flavors. So good that we inhaled them before we could get a pic. The packaging is so cute and works great to transport carry-out orders. Fabulous!

We stopped by to grab a couple of slices of pie because my daughter suggested it. I had the Bonnie & Pied and peach (never got to try the peach), but the Bonnie & Pied was super tasty. It wasn’t too rich, which is what my fear was. It was so yummy - I would definitely get it again!

If a piece of pie is worth $8 this would be it! The help wasn't friendly and the atmosphere was a little bland. I was the.only customer on a Saturday when the street was busy. They might want to make a better impression than with just the pie itself.

The pie is so good that I have to post my husband's piece - mine was gone in 2 minutes! Staff is great. 🤗 Can't wait to come back when it's cooler and enjoy the patio.

The very best pies! I had the apple, and it was so delicious. I savored every bite!

We had the wonderful experience of having Emporium Pies for desert for our wedding on 4/19/24 and it was the best option ever! We were able to go to the bakery and sit down, eat pie, and talk about our pastry vision we wanted, it was a dream. We got something like 60 slices for 45 people and a whole apple pie to cut into, it was all so delicious! They delivered to the venue on time. Even our gluten free guests had an option. If you're thinking about booking for your wedding or event I would highly encourage it! Thanks Emporium pies! Photos courtesy of Jamie Park Photo

Absolutely loved my time at the Dallas Farmers Market! From the bustling energy of Sunday afternoon to the delightful variety of vendors, this place is a gem in the heart of Dallas. Inside, the 26,000 sq ft food hall and artisanal vendor space is alive with cafés, local restaurants, gift boutiques, and specialty food shops open daily from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. On the weekends, The Shed opens as an open-air pavilion (Saturdays 9–5, Sundays 10–5) where farmers, ranchers, and food artisans bring seasonal produce, meats, cheeses, baked goods, and more. The variety is impressive, from fresh fruits and vegetables to artisan crafts and made-to-order meals. Add in live music, community vibes, the joy of sampling, and friendly local faces, and every turn feels like a discovery. The only downside? Parking. It’s on-site and paid, but during peak times (like Sunday afternoons), it’s nearly impossible to find a spot. Arrive earlier or be prepared to walk a bit. But truly, this place is a must-visit for locals and visitors alike. Whether you’re a foodie, lover of local crafts, or just in the mood for a fun, sensory adventure, bring your appetite, your sense of wonder (and maybe your walking shoes).

Amazing experience at Dallas Farmers Market! I absolutely love visiting the Dallas Farmers Market — it’s one of my favorite weekend spots in the city. The atmosphere is so lively and welcoming, with a perfect mix of local farmers, food vendors, artisans, and small businesses. You can really feel the community vibe here. The produce section is always fresh, colorful, and full of variety. I’ve picked up everything from juicy peaches and organic greens to handmade honey and fresh flowers. The local farmers are super friendly and happy to share tips about their products or how they’re grown. Inside The Market building, there’s such a great range of food options. It’s the perfect place to come hungry and try a little bit of everything. The coffee spots and dessert stalls are a must-try too! Parking is pretty convenient, especially if you come earlier in the day. There’s plenty of shaded seating areas where you can relax, enjoy your food, and listen to live music on weekends. It’s also very clean and well maintained, which makes the overall experience even better. If you’re visiting Dallas or even a local looking for a fun and fresh weekend plan, the Dallas Farmers Market is a must-visit. It perfectly captures the local flavor, creativity, and spirit of the community. I always leave with a smile, full stomach, and a few new favorites to bring home! 🌿🍓🥖

First time there and it was better than expected. Locally sourced food and handmade goods and treats. Had a great day and will be back. Pumpkins were EVERYWHERE and I'm lover of all things Fall so it was heavenly

Suchhhhh a cute little place. This was my second time going. They have a good variety of food and little shops. It was a nice little pass time. I will say parking wasn’t the best but it also wasn’t the worst.

Went on a beautiful day. Lots of vendors and fresh produce. Lots of pumpkins 🎃 this time of year. A little bit of everything. Parking was easy. Love the plant place. We bought lots of fruit, oils, homemade soap and facial scrubs.

The Dallas farmers market was amazing to visit. They had live entertainment and so many great food options to choose from. I had a pulled pork sandwich that was to die for. Many gift shops to choose from as well. Overall, a must visit.

A local, not so hidden gem, each Saturday and Sunday. The market place is filled with a variety of vendors, with farm fresh vegetables produce and a variety of handcrafted goods from Dallas farmers, creatives, chefs, artists, and locals. There’s also a wide selection of restaurants and cafés, as well as places to sit eat, and people watch.

We are originally from California, so In-N-Out Burger holds a special place in our hearts. Every time we travel to Dallas, we make it a priority to stop in for a meal, and this visit did not disappoint. From the moment we walked in, the restaurant felt clean, welcoming, and true to the brand we know and love. The staff greeted us with friendly smiles and took our order quickly, making the experience smooth and enjoyable. The food, as always, was fresh and delicious. Our burgers were cooked perfectly, with that signature flavor that is impossible to replicate anywhere else. The lettuce and tomatoes were crisp, the buns were soft, and the cheese melted just right. The fries were hot and golden, and we couldn’t resist pairing everything with their classic shakes. It’s rare to find fast food that tastes this fresh and consistent, and In-N-Out has mastered it. Even though we’ve enjoyed In-N-Out countless times back home, there’s something special about getting it here in Dallas—it’s like a taste of home while on the road. Every visit reminds us why we love this place so much. Great food, great service, and always worth the trip!

Just superb burger. Everytime i visiting texas i do visit and have veggie burger here. They serves fresh french fries 🍟 and serves freshly made hot burgers. Always recommend this place. They made in house fresh fries as well they made breads in house to so its always fresh and taste delicious. Highly recommended this place for fresh and veggie burgers.

Absolutely amazed by the quality as usual! The service was great, the atmosphere and of course the fresh tasting ingredients. I would highly recommend this location to anyone traveling or visiting and up for a good bite Always a pleasure bringing family to in n out and I always get the animal style fries and double doubles. They’ve never let me down and are one of my favorites .

Great experience! Although it was crazy busy on a Sunday night, the place was super clean. The staff was friendly & fabulous. My daughter mentioned we live in Oklahoma and don't have In-N-Out. So while she was ordering her food, Victoria gave her an In-N-Out hat & a few stickers. So very thoughtful! Thank you for the great experience!

Love the food, never disappointing. It tastes like a cheese burger should, hot and delicious like im at a dinner back in 1948. The people are also super nice.

First time experiencing this "raving place" and I was not impressed. The first burger I was given the bun was rock hard. So I had to drive to the front and wait for them to remake. The line was hellaciously long to begin with and they're trying to mimic chik fil a (without the quick moving line).... fail. The size of this burger is that of a kiddie burger. The fries were all the end pieces. The medium drink resembled a child's siE drink. Complete mirage pn what everyone is raving about this place. No way does it even compare to a sonic and dang sure doesn't compare to whataburger.

I've never been to an In-N-Out B. Surpassed my expectations. The burger was good, and fries were excellent. Despite being busy due to peak hours, customer service was good. The store was also very clean despite being full.

I’ve been dining at Gemma for 11 years now since I moved to Dallas in 2014. It has remained a constant place of comfort in an ever changing restaurant scene in Dallas. The food is spectacular and NEVER disappoints. The staff and service is even better. I probably eat there 2-3 times a month now. You can’t go wrong with anything on the menu but if you’re a first timer you’ve got to try the rabbit pappardelle. Thank you to all the staff (front of house, bar tenders, and kitchen staff) for creating just an absolutely lovely restaurant.

We stopped by Gemma without a reservation and were pleasantly surprised at how quickly we were seated. The restaurant has a charming outdoor patio that adds to the cozy atmosphere. For starters, we ordered the Heirloom Beets. Personally, I wasn’t a fan of the mint finish,. For mains, I tried the Sakura Pork Secreto — it was just okay and not something I’d order again. My partner, however, had the Grass-Fed Bavette Steak and it was excellent — tender, flavorful, and absolutely worth coming back for. The real highlight was dessert. We shared the Crème Brûlée with vegan coconut ice cream, and it was out of this world — creamy, decadent, and perfectly balanced. A must-try! On top of the food, the service stood out. I have a dairy sensitivity, and our server was incredibly thoughtful and accommodating with my dietary needs, which made the experience even better. Overall, Gemma delivers a wonderful dining experience with standout dishes (especially the steak and dessert) and warm, attentive service. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in Dallas!

Gemma – 4.5⭐️ Had an excellent dinner at Gemma on Saturday. Our waiter, Anthony, was fantastic! Very friendly, attentive, and really added to the experience. The meal started with warm scones served with salted butter, and they were absolutely delicious. We tried the fried olives and pecans, burrata, and hamachi crudo. All were outstanding and full of fresh, clean flavor. I ordered the Filet au Poivre for my main course, and it was one of the best filet mignons I’ve had in Dallas. Perfectly cooked, tender, and served with great frites and creamed spinach. For dessert, we split an apple crisp and gianduja chocolate tart that were both good, though not the highlight compared to the rest of the meal. Overall, Gemma is a gem of a spot with great food, friendly service, and a cozy, elevated vibe. I’ll definitely be back!

Amazing! The atmosphere is top notch and romantic. Looking around, not a lot of phones out, just people talking to one another as it should be. Jeremy was our server and he was one of the best waiters we've ever had. He was funny, explained a lot of the dishes in an easy to digest manner, and gave great recommendations. The food was top notch. On par with some michelin starred places. We will absolutely be back. Do yourself a favor and book a reservation here.

Food is always good! The fried olives are great and the oysters are usually great too. The restaurant is always a little too loud to hear anyone sitting at your table but overall great.

Absolutely loved Gemma. Came here for my birthday dinner, and they wrote me a nice little card and candle on my dessert. I really liked the skirt steak and the ceviche. Also the semifreddo was amazing!!! Would recommend for a date night, yummy dinner, special event, etc!

One of my favorite places to have dinner in Dallas! Gemma is a perfection. Great service , fantastic food ( you can literally close your eyes and point at anything on the menu and you will love it !) , spacious enough so no one will be bumping into you. We had dinner there the other night after leaving Sister ( disappointed) and Phillip was so nice to fit us in. We had oysters- amazingly fresh , hamachi crudo - exceptional fish quality , beef carpaccio- perfect slices paired with some cheese and greens, then we moved onto pasta - I’m not a big fan of pasta dishes as I’m extremely picky about it but i kept sticking my fork into my husband’s plate and that says A LOT, I was also pleased to see a quail dish on the menu- deep fried it was crispy on the outside and juicy and tender on the inside, finished with some espresso and affogato. I’m always happy to see coffee machines at restaurants and to see affogato as a dessert option at Gemma - it was a perfect ending to our meal.

Place was super busy but an employee helped guide us through the maze of people (where to order). Everything was delicious and cinnamon roll was warm and tasty. Pancake are lite and fluffy, sausage crispy. I'll definitely be back with the whole family 👍

Food was really good. Ordered the 3 piece with yams, and beans. Everything was good. When at the counter ready to order u guess the manager was there, spoke to everyone but me...I was a little surprised. Maybe she felt like I was ok. But anyways, the counter help was not to friendly, just do you want to order. Not very welcoming. But again the food was good

Honestly one of the best places I have been to. Sort of like a dinner when u walk in u go to the counter and order. Had the chicken and catfish and honestly they were great. Sides a little underseasoned but a personal preference. The staff... wow. Excellent. All very helpful and made u feel like u were part of the family. Def a great spot to eat.

The fried chicken was perfect. The biscuits and coleslaw were great. I could have done without the green beans and gravy. The gravy was kinda odd. The mashed potatoes were fine.

Wow this place lives up to the reviews. Amazing Chicken Fried Steak, mashed potatoes and gravy and green beans. Deborah the manager helped us out. She's so nice and accommodating. Come try this place out, you wont be disappointed!

My sister frequents this restaurant every month when she visits Dallas and raves about the down home flavors. I had a chance to visit with her and had an overall pleasant experience. My only critique is that although the chicken fried steak, fried chicken and catfish were fried to perfection, they were significantly over salted on this particular day. The sides were tasty and delicious and the service was excellent! Our order was served hot, with professionalism, courtesy and a warm smile! I look forward to visiting the next time I'm in Dallas!

Gotta Have Comfort Food Fix. Crispy Fried Chicken. Fried Catfish. Things you need to fix the soul.

My usual stop for some breakfast tacos when heading to S. Dallas. It's a little tricky to get there from the highway. But worth the detour. They are tasty and full of flavor. The Pastor are my favorite on corn tortillas with salsa. They also have lunch/dinner tacos in late hours. You can order at the window or go inside. Cash only. Worth a stop for some authentic street style tacos! Don't forget a pic with Sasquatch!

Great stop, in the middle of town, friendly staff. Semi clean restrooms. Barbacoa meet at the taco stand was delicious, beef is just ok. There are baker's meet every Saturday from what i had gathered.

that was the middle of the1 past the middle and it was in between that in the beginning of a new day sunshine time and I love your city. Dammit they got the store locked up. You have to do business through the window if you want tacos or if you want something from the convenience store to pay for fuel, maybe same thing go to the window well, I asked, but they wouldn’t let me pee in the window. so if you happen to be in the neighborhood and need to pee, hopefully it’s not in the wee hours

This place is run by capable business owners. They use eclectic outdoor decor, have generally-lower prices on gas on average, and, have vendors on-site for delicious, authentic-style Maize, Arroyo, tacos, etc. Issues include some elements being cash-only, and it can be difficult to reach.

Decent place to stop at, the bathrooms in particular are decently clean, although limited, especially for the Men's bathroom... but if that's my only takeaway? The staff were professional and courteous, although they kept to the registers. There's a decent selection of products all over, even some I've never seen prior to visiting at the end of a work day. Parking LOOKS a little limited, being that Fuel City here shares the building with another business, but there is more parking, especially for larger trucks around the back. Maybe next time I stop by, I'll be able to take a better look around and update my review. But 4/5 ain't bad!

Nice clean store & bathrooms. Large selection of snacks & various COLD drinks. Let's not forget about the TACOS!! Flavorful street tacos and sauces. Reasonably portioned and priced!! Very tender barbacoa!! Pastor was so yummy!! Can get busy, if so expect a delay.

This was quite standard for a convenience store and gas station. Inside, ice cold beer even at 10:30 am, coffee, coolers with drinks and snacks. But you're not here for that. You're here for the Fuel City Tacos, which I was told are the best tacos in Texas. We'll find out soon enough. Good parking but it's a big city and it's close to downtown so be sure your doors are locked, especially at night. Be aware of your surroundings and people walking towards you. I got a cold bottle of water to enjoy with the tacos.

Over priced disappointment. This is the definition of a dive bar, except we ended up paying $30 for two average sandwiches. I was initially surprised after reading the nearly 1600 positive reviews of this place! Everything looked amazing (see photos) but at the end of the day it needs to taste good. Pros: - large portions - fast service - quality presentation Cons: - overpriced - under-seasoned meat - bland texture - tasted reheated - paid parking - sketchy location - terrible atmosphere I went for lunch with a friend and tried the goat cheese and bacon club and the slow roasted pork sandwich. Both tasted like they made them the day before and heated them up! Very unfortunate experience for such a highly rated establishment. The goat cheese was the only good thing to say about the fist sandwich. Bread was soggy, tomatoes too thickly cut, bacon was cheap, and cucumbers were unnecessary garnish. The fries tasted reheated as well. The pulled pork was disappointingly dry for a rub based meat. No sauce, no marinade, no unique seasoning to speak of. Extremely unoriginal. This is very clearly a bar first and a restaurant second. In summary: either I hit this place on an off day, or this is a mediocre place with inflated reviews from bar patrons. Edit: I went back to make sure it wasn’t an off day, and it was the same the second time. Don’t waste your time or money here.

I had lunch here, it was delicious. I got the chicken salad with alvacado and bacon and habanaro ranch. It was all fresh and juicy, very good romaine. I loved it. Also, I tried 3 different mixed drinks, amaretto, red headed Irish, and Washington and they were all made perfectly. Lauren was our tender/waitress, she was so kind and fast. Absolutely loved it. Also, the parking can be difficult, and it is on a one way street, bit you can pay to park in a lit two doors Down and it's only 4-6$ so not too bad. Tons of other restaurants and stuff around them also. Out of 5 I would give them a 4.7, definitely great for socializing and a quick bite.

This is a hole in the wall but absolutely worth checking out!! Our server was running the show and despite doing it all, we had excellent service and the food was fantastic!! Enormous hamburgers, delicious fries, and definitely don’t overlook the sandwich menu! Philly cheesesteak was amazing. I’m looking forward to coming back!

*This is a late post! I’m so behind on posting* This place is feels like the TV Show “Cheers” I am sure this has to be a local lunch hot spot! First thing first! The barkeep was the coolest guy I’ve met in a longtime! He was entertaining and happened to know some of the lyrics to Hanson “MMMBOP” *also there was a patron that sing the entire song* The lemonade here is also amazing & if you’ve read my other reviews you know I love lemonade! The chicken sandwich was much better than the steak sandwich! This is the reason I typically get two meals! I have nothing bad to say about Uncle Uber’s! The place is super lax! And the food is typical bar food! I would definitely say give this place a try!

Came here for lunch and loved it. We each got a burger. It was flavorful with a great bun. I loved how thin the onions were cut and the sauce was great too. Not sure exactly what “Uber sauce” is but it didn’t taste like the typical special sauce (aka some sort of thousand island variation) that a lot of other burger places have. The fries were great too. You get a lot to an order but they were so good we managed to polish them off. The fountain drink section wasn’t huge but did have a number of specialty sodas to choose from which was a nice surprise. We don’t make it to Deep Ellum often, but this would be our go-to spot for a budget friendly meal in the area.

Update: Back again. Had the shaved ribeye with jalapeños. So so good. What a cool place. I had the bacon and goat cheese sandwich and it was fantastic. My wife had the Happy Hippie sandwich and said it was the best sandwich she's ever had. The hand cut fries were amazing. The service was great and folks were very friendly. Great place.

Ordered a smoking turkey, the Cuban, a double and a side of fries with the habanero ranch for the side sauce. Food came out pretty quick! The smoking turkey has a nice garlic butter toasted bread. The Cuban was done fairly well although bits of the pork were dry. The fries came with a slight cajun like seasoning and were nothing spectacular but were good. They are just french fries so hard to mess those up! The double was the end game. This burger tasted great! I really enjoyed it and this burger is enough to come here for if you're not a fan of the regular sammiches.

Went here on a Tuesday and it was solid and I’d be down to try it again. The flavor of everything was fantastic. Fried green berms were great. The beef short rib was a little dry and the menu doesn’t have cocktails. Just sake and wine based drinks. Service was excellent

We did the tasting menu with the wine pairing! The food was great! Pretty traditional and a little on the salty side, but I like that! It was a quiet night with only 3 other groups (of 2 or 3 people) there the whole two hours we were dining. The server (Nathan) was very friendly, fast, and explained everything well. We parked in the paid lot next door to the restaurant (it was $18), which was convenient! There were several street parking spots nearby, but they were all taken on a Friday night.

Great Food and Service, but Small Portions and Not the Best Location. The place opens at 5:30pm on Saturday and they validate parking in the lot right next to them. The inside is nice. But, the location, overall and in general, isn't prime real estate for this type of restaurant. This restaurant is needed in the area though, to balance from the fast and comfort food. The service was great and the food was great. My wife and her friend had the burger. My wife's husband and I both had the Sea Bass. They bring out this little thing of heated nuts that's an awesome snack/appetizer. The chocolate cake was good too. But, the portions are small for the price. The portions were pretty European, but the price was still very American.

I was very impressed. Good size portions, the waiter was timely, considerate, and polite. My only regret is I didn't have enough time for dessert. I'll be back when I have more time.

Visiting from Chicago and was greeted by Keiston and guided to our table. He was knowledgeable on the dishes and gave GREAT recommendations. This place was incredible, from the ambience, to presentation, to the food everything was perfect. Tracy the chef came out to say hello which was just the icing on top of an absolutely incredible dinner. Will 100% be back and I highly recommend!

Phenomenal food. Tracy Miller is a genius, who is an artist in the kitchen, the Mozart of cooking. Every dish was truly a beautiful piece of art, with each course bursting with amazing flavor. Great variety on the menu, elevated & creative American food. Truly a magical eating experience, can’t wait to go back & try the chefs tasting 9 course meal :D

If you have the opportunity to do the tasting menu here, do it!! What a treat! It was such a great sampling of their delicious dishes. Soups, fish, beef, dessert...wines paired perfectly. I'll be back for a standard dinner to have the sea bass.... that dish stole the show for me. Fantastic!! The staff was awesome, each dish was described, each wine introduced. Courses came out at a perfect pace. The ambience inside is very minimal, not too fancy not-- too laid back. Just a really clean modern vibe. It was a perfect anniversary celebration. I'm looking forward to going back.

Went for taco Tuesday, 2$ tacos very generous on the meat and very delicious. Margaritas taste home made n strong 10/10. Views are a plus! Definitely come try if you’re in downtown!

This was a random find, that was absolutely 🔥!! Paid for parking then after realizing that this restaurant validated parking... #Winning Music was playing, you could smell the food from the parking lot... This place is a total vibe! I can imagine this place is popping when the weather cools down a bit. Went to order and asked for recommendations... The Barbacoa Tacos came highly recommended, so I got 2 and I grabbed a Jarritos Mandarin Soda. But he time I found a seat and got settled, here came the food. The tacos looked good and tasted incredible!!! LET'S GOOOO!!! I'll definitely be back and I highly recommend! ⭐

I was craving tacos and wanted to switch it up a bit so I tried this place. I’m glad I did because the tacos were bursting with flavor! The only downside is that the barbacoa was way too fatty. The meat I was able to get was tender and flavorful. I also enjoyed the elotes and margarita! The patio was very spacious and had jenga on some of the tables. Perfect setting for a group but also great for singles!

I ain’t no taco expert but they got some juicy beef tongue and beef brisket tacos. Come here on taco Tuesday for $2 tacos Only down side is the dining area is outdoor and there are birds hovering around for your leftovers

Pastor tacos are my favorite. If you wanna treat yourself get a frozen margarita & a churro 😋 the employees are all so nice & helpful as well

Taqueria La Ventana is hands down one of the best spots for authentic Mexican food! The food is absolutely delicious—fresh, full of flavor, and made with care. The drinks are just as impressive, perfectly balanced and refreshing. What really sets this place apart is the customer service. Eduardo and Adrian go above and beyond to make sure every guest feels welcome. They’re attentive, friendly, and truly make the dining experience special. If you’re looking for amazing food, great drinks, and top-notch service, this is the place to be. Highly recommend!

Every dish we've tried has been fantastic. The enchiladas are smothered in a rich, complex mole sauce. The portions are huge and the service is always warm and welcoming. Feels like you're getting a home-cooked meal with that comfort & vibes!

The burger was a bit dry, how ever it is very large burger. The fries were a bit greasy, too soaked for me to eat them. The shake however was so good. Overpriced for sure $19 plus tips.

I went here because my brother mentioned the burgers here were “pretty good” but noted that they made good homemade root beer and onion rings. I ordered a single patty bacon cheeseburger, an order of onion rings and 1 medium root beer float. Right or wrong just from looking at the building outside I didn’t expect a high cost to my order but to my surprise my order was $23.16. That to me is definitely an insane cost for what I ordered and what I would think would be expected for a luxury burger restaurant. Did the quality match the insane cost? Short answer? Definitely not. The bun was dry and the bacon was super dry. Nothing special. I liked the size of the onion rings but I wasn’t fond of the specific batter used. I prefer more thick batter and this was the opposite of that. The root beer float I was hoping would at least be noteworthy to salvage everything else but I can’t say it was exceptional or anything. For me personally I wouldn’t come back here again. Far superior burgers and onion rings outside of here and at a much cheaper price importantly.

The BEST burger you can find. It is a small place with AMAZING staff that clearly love what they do. The onion rings are lightly battered, the tots have a great crunch and the burger patty is moist and just the right size. A must do if you are near the North East side of Dallas

Hole in the with limited indoor seating and carhops serving outside. Reasonable prices for what they offer. The fries could be a little crispier, but the portion was generous. The burger was above average, but the bun was slightly stale. This was all forgiven when I took a sip of the house made Root Beer. I would stop traffic to take the whole tank home.

Got stood up on my date so instead I went to Dairyette post walking at the Arboretum. The dairyette burger reminded me of the BootsBurger I had in Rockwall! The patty is crispy but still meaty, the right amount of condiments and pickles! Idk why I didn’t come sooner!

I came here for the first time and opted to walk in and dine inside the restaurant rather than use the drive in. I ordered a root beer float which was more like a cup of soft serve ice cream with a splash of root beer. It wasn’t bad but I wouldn’t get it again and I wish it had more root beer. I also ordered a side of onion rings which never came out. I asked the server if they were being made and he apologized and said the order wasn’t put in. The server was nice but overall the experience was mediocre and I don’t think I’ll be back.

Great food, been coming here for years, miss Cisco being here though, cool old school burger joint

The hype is real, the place is great! Be prepared to wait in line, a lot of people want to eat here so keep that in mind, the place has gone viral a couple times, and for good reason! Everything we had was amazing, go with a platter, it feed 3-4 people! Best people to go with is people that like sharing food, try everything that comes in the platter. They also have great drinks! It’s a Vietnamese-Mexican fusion, the place is really clean and well organized, smells great in there!

Wow! What an awesome concept for fusion food. SO good! The Cariga Yellow curry flautas with rice were definitely the star of the show, super flavorful and so good. The Birria tacos were pretty good but they could use some flavor. The fried chicken tacos were also pretty good.

The wait was two hours! You need to know what you want before reaching the register because once you’re seated, if you decide to order another drink or item, you’ll have to get back in line. I watched a party of two get seated at a four-person table while a two-person table sat empty and just needed to be cleaned. The line stretched all the way to the business next door, yet there were several empty tables waiting to be wiped down. There was only one person cleaning, which really slowed the flow of seating. When we asked our waitress for ketchup and more napkins, it took quite a while. One staff member mentioned that service was delayed because people were going on lunch breaks. For how busy it gets, they really need better coverage. Having one or two floaters—one for the kitchen and another for the dining area—would make a big difference on days like this. This restaurant would benefit from a reservation system or table service setup. I’d visit again, but probably not until next year when the TikTok rush dies down or they improve their system. The staff was friendly, but they ask for tips at the register after a two-hour wait, and since the servers only deliver food with no added service, I don’t think tipping is necessary. The food was good and served hot, which helped make up for the long wait.

The food was good. We had the chicken pho burrito and it was heaped ion with emphasis Hoison and Siracha sauce. Tasty. The restaurant definitely has a street food stand vibe. Busy, alive and loud. If however you're looking for great traditional pho, there are better places. Pho I feel is all about the broth and with attention on their fusion, emphasis to get traditional stuff right gets diluted. However, I still think it's a great place for the asian fusion street food experience

First time here , wait on sunday was about 30-40 min line went by pretty fast it didn’t feel like we waited that long. Big portions with great flavor!! so many options you want to try everything. Definitely recommend!!

Everything here is truly 10/10 and beyond! They absolutely nailed the Viet-Mex concept and brought it to life in such a unique and flavorful way. Every bite was incredible, and you can tell a lot of passion went into the food. We highly recommend trying the Phorrito and the Special Pho, but honestly everything on the menu is worth a try. Such an amazing experience—I can’t wait to come back!

I was pleasantly surprised with everything from beginning to end. Upon arrival it was busy, but the flow of the line and great customer service eased my anxiety. I’m back on my vegan journey and I must say the flavors from the vegan platter was amazing. Everything was cooked with perfection with a mouth full of delicious flavors. My daughter ordered a platter that also included quite a of food for a good price. I will definitely be trying again.

They removed the island and added tables and chairs. It now has a coffee house vibe with folks hanging out working on their laptops. The food is really good. The staff is really friendly. My husband really enjoys the coffee. This is a great, local spot. I always enjoy coming here.

I dropped by Goodfriend Package in Dallas and loved the energy—from the strong beer selection to the mouthwatering, house-made sandwiches. The blueberry biscuits and pastrami sandwiches are real standouts, and the vibe is laid-back and cool. It’s a solid spot for breakfast or lunch if you’re craving something elevated and casua

Delicious sandwiches, great drink selection, cool atmosphere, and tucked in a cute little area. We had two specialty sandwiches today: snake bite and boats and hoagie 10/10

Delicious biscuit sandwiches and friendly staff. Would definitely like to try more on their menu.

I've visited this restaurant many times, always eager to try their blueberry biscuits, but they were always sold out—until today! Now, I finally understand why. These biscuits are absolutely to die for! Fluffy, perfectly baked, with just the right amount of sweetness from the blueberries and the honey butter... I highly recommend, they are worth every bite!

Food was delicious, service was great, pancakes were made to perfection and I had a very nice and quiet brunch with my cousin. It was an overall great experience!

Really cool spot in this part of town. Everything from their breakfast to their lunch tastes phenomenal. Not to mention you can pick up a 6-pack of craft beer and snag arguably one of the best coffees I’ve had in a long time. It’s worth stopping in

Great staff and good food. The pizza was flavorful and everything else tasted great. My biggest gripe is that the pizzas got soggy really fast. You basically have to eat your pizza with a fork here. It does not hold together whatsoever.

I have been wanting to eat a good Italian pizza for a while now. I am happy mu friend brought me here. I lived the pizza and the cheese bread. Our server was great. Definitely coming back!

The pizza was delicious and the shrimp scampi was good. Their tiramisu was handmade and delicious. Free parking across the street makes it easy. We will be back. Recommended!

Got the Chicken Tikka pizza takeout. Flavor was good. After the first few pieces it seemed to droop between my fingers more than most pizza. It seemed the crust was underdone. Was too hungry to notice at first. It did come out really fast, but no one was there either. My first time. Will try Frisco. From reviews seems like a one off.

Brian was our server yesterday. He was fast, efficient and also running the entire establishment yesterday. There were 3 servers on staff during lunch. He managed to be the food expeditor while also providing us exceptional service. My friend and I came in and ordered the Lunch Combo. What a great deal as you can choose between the pepperoni, sausage or margherita pizza with a side or salad or tater tots. The pizza was fresh and delicious. The tater tots were crispy on the outside and fluffy inside. Don't forget to order a side of their amazing ranch to dip!

Cane Rosso is just the best! Food is artfully crafted, service is exactly what one would expect and atmosphere is adaptable to the time of day and the present crowd. I ordered the prosciutto and arugula pizza, beau ordered pasta of the month for June— mushroom gnocchi + add on chicken. Flavors are immaculate!

This Cane Rosso has a nice date night vibe to its atmosphere. My friend and I wanted to grab something to eat and decided on cane rosso because the service is fast for a brick oven pizza. The pizza did take a few to arrive but because we ordered a ceaser salad we weren’t in a rush for the pizza. Everything was hot, amazing and fresh! The best hint of spices to the pizza that kept me wanting more and the doughy crust was splendid. The service was good but could be better. I was first sat right next to a party when there was more tables available around the room. I asked to be moved and the process was seamless but it did feel weird to be sat next to a large group. We also didn’t get a refill on water till we had to ask when signing our check but other than that a nice place to get pizza.

It was amazing. Very clean and inviting plenty of space. The lady that took our order was helpful and kind. Ordering was simple. We had El Jefe to get a sample of everything had a Daria taco and the corn bread Mexican street con and bacon braised cabbage. It was so amazing the pork belly burnt end melted in your mouth. The pulled pork wow ribs mmm hatch pepper jack sausage amazing. Brisket soft tend and full of flavor. Not to forget the turkey was amazing.

We are visiting Dallas from Corpus Christi and we went here for the first time and got there when it opened. There was no wait, and a young lady came out and helped us with the menu, providing recommendations. She was extremely helpful. We got the El Jefe, which had a little bit of everything, with two sides. We also tried the queso, texas twinkie, and cornbread. It was all amazing. We will definitely be visiting this BBQ place again!

The food over all was good. The chicken was dry and the burnt ends were tough. The ribs and brisket were really good. I liked all the sides. I also got the beans but I assumed they would be BBQ baked beans but it was more like a charro beans. Thats my fault I should asked more questions. The bacon ranch potato salad was and the hatch chili Mac and cheese was absolutely awesome. The Mexican corn was good as well. I felt the price point was high for the amount of meat that you get.

Wow! What a great unexpected find! We really loved the ribs, sliced brisket, pulled pork and smoked sausage. Now let's talk about the birria taco! Oh baby, the crunch, the cheese, the consumme, all delightful. Best birria taco that I've ever had, and priced at $6, I would order one every time. The macaroni and cheese and potato salad were both really good, We didn't really care for the corn, as it had a very overwhelming lime flavor, but everything else was top notch. Sarah took great care of us, as did another friendly female worker, but we didn't catch her name. This place is great, and the only thing that would keep me from coming back, is the parking situation. It took us 15 minutes to find a spot.

This was an excellent dining experience. The only reason I didn’t give Atmosphere 5 stars was because we arrived quite soon after it opened, on week day, so it was fairly quiet, but it did steadily get busier. The food was excellent. We got a family style sharing board, so a bit of everything. Slightly disappointing that the Beef Ribs were only an option at the weekends. However, everything we had was excellently done and it would be fair to say that over the years that I’ve been visiting Texas, these pork ribs were the best I’ve had! Really nice staff. The owner even came to speak with us, and ask how things were and where we’d travelled from, which was nice. He even gave us some free gifts from the store, which was very much appreciated. I’d recommend this place to anyone visiting Dallas, and will be visiting Hurtado again without question.

If you’re looking for terry black level quality meats but on a lighter, cleaner side, this is the spot. Barbecue smoked right and extremely tender and fulfilling yet fresh won’t leave you feeling greased up and in a food coma. Plus, they have quality quail. The watermelon cucumber salad was the perfect size and side for my sliced turkey. Drinks also refreshing and light. The atmosphere followed suit with and well lit interior and spaced out tables so you don’t feel crowded. We’ve eaten out every Sunday and this is our new favorite spot after church.

We take our BBQ seriously in our family. We have a pretty tight top five list of favorite joints, but this place just broke into a top spot on that list for their brisket! We ordered sliced brisket, moist cut. It was so fragile that it was difficult to pick up (always a great sign). The marbeling was wonderful. This tender, slow cooked beef with a thick, savory bark melted in my mouth. No sauce necessary. Seriously one of the best briskets we have ever eaten. Hurtados is nestled right in the center of the Dallas Farmers Market off the East Quarter. They have a great patio complete with swings and corn hole. We learned that all their meat is sourced from FOUR SIxes Ranch right here in Texas. They offer tours of their smoke room. Of course we jumped at the chance to see where the magic happens. Our guide told us about their process. The smell in that room was enough to ignite the senses and wake up the taste buds. If you are looking for brisket that is out of this world, head on down to Hurtados and prepare to be amazed. P.S. other items on the menu were tasty too, but it's the brisket that will keep us coming back time after time.

If you’re thinking of treating yourself this holiday season look no further. Petra and the Beast is a Dallas gem that cannot be missed. Misty is an absolute artist and her food is elegant, balanced and absolutely incredible. From the mushroom infused, fresh stuffed pasta, to the handmade bread that served as a vessel for a crab toast the evening was spectacular. Don’t sleep on the wine pairing, some incredible wines you cant find anywhere else! If you want to feel transported to NYC or Chicago this is the place to be. PS she’s a master at accommodating! We arrived for a tasting menu and my guest was a pescatarian. We let them know ahead of the reservation and she absolutely crushed it.

My favorite restaurant in all of Dallas. So glad I got to be here at the end. They always delivered the best dishes and the vibe was always an experience. I loved to come here on special occasions, most recently for my birthday. I even brought my out of town friends. Sad to see it gone but very excited to see the next project she comes up with.

We're huge fans of Petra and the Beast, especially since we live only 9 minutes away and want to support our neighborhood restaurants! We can't say this about every visit, but tonight, every dish was delicious! Service was excellent as well. Our server, and everyone who dropped by, were super friendly!

Went for a birthday dinner with friends and had a very pleasant experience! Staff/team were so friendly, approachable, and helpful! They explained the dishes well and answered all and any questions we had. The food was delicious and had unique and interesting combinations of flavors. The restaurant is overall classy but casual, unpretentious, and affordable. We loved the vibe and would love to dine again to experience their ever changing courses and new menus to reflect what’s in season locally!

If you aren’t familiar with this restaurant, its location and outer appearance may trick you into not realizing how fantastic it is. The chef and owner, Misti Norris, has received several awards and recognition that seems to be so well-deserved. This restaurant emphasizes the importance of using the whole animal in their menu and finding ways to make parts of the animal that we don’t normally enjoy feel truly enjoyable. The service is phenomenal. Helpful, attentive, and truly just seemed so happy to be there. I really appreciated being walked through the menu, which changes frequently based on what is in season and what they have access to. I really appreciated that it’s a very collaborative restaurant both in itself and in the community. The food is indescribable. Partially because I’m not a food critique and can’t do it justice, but mostly because it was just the delicious. Everything was flavorful, inventive, unique, and inviting. I would highly recommend for a special occasion, a chef’s tasting, or other specialty dinner. We’ll absolutely be back and be recommending it to anyone looking for a great dinner spot.

Unique dining experience. Came for brunch with a group of 6 on Sunday. Server (Jordan) was super cool. We all enjoyed her. We ordered all the mains and sides. Food comes out as it's ready which is nice because it's fresh, but also reduces chances of pairing the dishes. The bread pudding was the best! Almost like a chocolate brownie. Chef's kiss. Anecdote unrelated to my rating: I'm just not the biggest fan of this type of elevated cuisine, some people are. Just cause I'm not a fan doesn't mean this didn't live up to expectations in any way. This is more for people who may not be familiar so they know what they'll be getting into. Several times our group (consisting of people who are very into this) couldn't identify what dish was in the table unless Jordan did her great job telling us what it was. Look, the food tasted good and you can tell the craftsmanship and skill in preparation was 100% there. Just on some level if I'm going to brunch, I'd like to see a Benedict or hash, or biscuits and gravy. All of those can be elevated and executed delightfully. This was still a cool experience to go through.

The menu is flexible and they change it periodically. We randomly ordered some items, all of which were fusion creations. The pigtail seems to be a popular item. My kid loved it because it’s sweet and savory, though it was a bit too salty for my taste. The smoked red fish pasta was really delicious—flavorful without being too salty. It has a variety of textures and overall makes a nice meal without being overpriced. We will be back to try more items.

Ordered the medium passion fruit tea with lychee boba. It was too sweet. This cup size is considered a medium but it’s really a small. The guy at the counter wasn’t listening very well. I wasn’t told they out of kumquat until after I ordered and waited while 3 other drinks came out before me. Not the best boba. The bahn mi was good and a good size.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I recently visited Nammi at the Farmers Market and I have to say — this place absolutely deserves a 5/5 ⭐. From the moment I walked in (or rather, up to their counter), to the point I left, everything was delightful. Firstly, the ambiance and setup are charming — it retains that food-truck energy but elevated into a cozy, bright space that still feels fresh, fun, and welcoming. The staff greeted me with smiles and were prompt, even though they were managing multiple orders. Now, let’s talk food — I ordered their pho / noodle bowl (with generous slices of beef, fresh herbs, onions, and plenty of rice noodles), plus the side “garnish pack” of bean sprouts, basil, lime, and jalapeños (as seen in my photos). The broth was rich, aromatic, and perfectly balanced — not too salty, not too bland — with little droplets of fat adding that comforting depth. The beef was tender, and the herbs were fresh. When you assemble your bowl yourself with the extras, it all comes together beautifully. I also sampled their banh mi (one of their signature items), and it did not disappoint. Crispy, lightly toasty bread, packed with flavorful pork, tangy pickled veg, fresh herbs — every bite had texture and balance. Portions are generous — I couldn’t even finish everything, which is rare for me! Service was efficient and attentive throughout. They checked in to make sure I had everything I needed (extra broth? more garnishes?), and everything arrived quickly. All in all, Nammi has nailed consistency, flavor, and hospitality. In 2025, it remains a go-to Vietnamese spot in Dallas for people who want authentic taste without pretense. Highly, highly recommended — I’m already planning my next visit. If you love pho, banh mi, or clean, bold Vietnamese flavors — do not skip Nammi

My roommate ordered a rice bowl and it was fantastic. Flavors were great and the quantity was great for the 13$ price!

We ordered Bahn Mi (honey pork) and a rice bowl (ginger soy tofu) as well as a basil lemonade and a green tea. Food came out delicious and quick. Prices weren’t bad and portions were huge, the drinks were refreshing and the menu was extensive. Great place for a lunch after the market.

Do you guys put plant-based meat in your veggie egg rolls? I ordered veggie egg rolls, but can't tell if this is real meat or plant based. Assuming it was meat, I didn't eat it. The service was great and will be back to try other vegetarian/vegan items, but sad I couldn't eat my egg rolls 😔

First time trying this restaurant as I just moved across the street about 2 weeks ago. 10/10 I ordered the Honey Pork Banh Mi, and it was so much food. It was very well presented, lots of vibrant colors and overall just delicious, but my favorite part of the experience was the wonderful service the lady in the front provided. She was such a kind an wonderful soul, she was even teaching me how to say thank you in Vietnamese. I will definitely be a returning customer till the day my lease expires. Thank y'all for being so amazing

Food was tasty, this is not a sit down place. You order your food and eat on tables inside the farmers Market hall.

This place has a vegetarian menu and I'm all for it. Let's start with the bread, make sure you ask for more shiner bread, it's delicious. Unfortunately for us, they ran out when we were there. The surf and turf was fantastic. While the steak was what I expected from a high end restaurant, the fried lobster blew me away. My favorite of the night were the vegetarian appetizers. Both the tortilla soup and mini tacos blew me away. Both 5/5. However, I was left pretty disappointed with the Mexican sampler. The spinach enchiladas were okay, while the other two were just bad. You can do vegan/vegetarian entres with flavors and this was not shown in this dish. We also had the fearing old fashion, which I appreciate the sweet mellow scent vs the typical pungent scotch smell.

A great restaurant in an equally great hotel. The service was impeccable with all staff members being friendly and helpful. The overall ambience of the restaurant was bright and open. We were seated in a booth close to the kitchen but we didn't notice the sound. We started with the Southwest Sampler. The crab cakes were fried perfectly, the short rib enchilada was a little too sauce heavy but still delicious, and the lobster tacos were delicious...but let's be honest, the tacos were one bite and not two bite. My gf had the Chilean Sea Bass and I ordered the Antelope over Mole Rojo with Rabbit Enchilada. Both the sea bass and the rice it sat on were cooked perfectly. Absolutely delicious dish that I'll order next time for myself. I'm usually disappointed with rice in Texas so this was a pleasant surprise. The antelope was amazing. Whenever I see it on a menu, I always order it and I encourage everyone to try it. The only miss on this dish was the rabbit enchilada. The meat was a little dry and there was a bit too much cheese for the size of the enchilada. Overall, this a great dining experience and I highly recommend it.

Our dinner at Fearing’s last night was absolutely exceptional! From the moment we arrived, the service, atmosphere, and attention to detail were flawless. Jesus was our server, and he went above and beyond — incredibly attentive, knowledgeable, and made the entire experience feel special. Every course was perfectly prepared and full of flavor, from the appetizers to dessert. The presentation, timing, and energy of the restaurant made for one of the best dining experiences we’ve had in Dallas. Highly recommend asking for Jesus when you visit — he truly elevated the evening!

Want to impress the people you’ve invited to dinner? This is the place! We didn’t have a reservation yet the hostess not only got us in but set us up at a lovely booth. The food was interesting and flavorful, the buffalo fantastically seasoned. We unfortunately didn’t have time for dessert due to an event we already had scheduled but we found some surprise petit fours in our to go bag. Dinner was so impressive we went back for breakfast. Everyone was attentive making the meals a memorable experience.

The decor definitely pays homage to Texas and its influence on the cuisine at Fearings. The food is inventive Texas cuisine with an emphasis on locally sourced ingredients. The menu is simple yet bold. The cooking techniques are spot on, and the flavors are bold. The appetizer sampler is a must try. The short rib enchilada is crave worthy. The mini crab cakes were a tad on the salty side but were still very good. The South Texas antelope dish was a really good composed dish. The "mole" that comes with the dish had an off-putting texture and mouth feel. The braised rabbit emchilada served with the grilled antelope was incredible! I still prefer the signature filet with chicken fried lobster, though. The bread service was really good, with three different bite-sized breads served. Service was very professional and helpful. They know the menu really well.

Excellent Tortilla Soup with a unique addictive flavor. I will be back just for this soup. I had the Buffalo meat dish. My partner had the Antellope dish. Both were tender and had delicious sides with each. Very friendly & attentive staff. I wish I took more photos. It was a wow! We will be back! Great bottle of wine. Feel free to use my words. :)

We had an amazing experience at Fearing’s in Dallas, even without a reservation. The staff took a few minutes but graciously accommodated us, making the evening smooth from the start. We were there for my husband’s celebration, and the atmosphere, service, and food made it truly special. The staff was exceptionally friendly and attentive. I opted for vegetarian dishes, and the server suggested some fantastic options—each one bursting with rich flavors and perfect execution. The highlight of the evening was the coffee dessert, which were absolute showstoppers! Every bite was a delight, and the presentation made it even more memorable. Highly recommended for a special occasion or a fine dining experience in Dallas. The service, food, and ambiance made it an unforgettable evening.

We ate here for dinner, they have a different menu for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I can't wait to try their breakfast! We got... Deviled eggs, duck wings, bone marrow, risotto tots, shrimp and grits, ribeye, caramel pumpkin bread pudding, and cheesecake. The only thing I don't recommend is the steak. It was cooked well, but it lacked flavor and for that price I would just get something else. Great service all the way around. Parking is valet, dress was business casual to casual. Great for a date night.

Beautiful spot with fantastic fresh flavors. Everything we tried was wonderfully tasty. From the sweet rolls to the waffles, it was all presented beautifully and tasted wonderful. We had the cinnamon rolls, waffles, avacado toast with eggs and the homemade cheesecake. They have a wonderful beer selection. I would love to go back and try more. It was delicious. I'm hoping they decide to reopen elsewhere at the end of the month. They are so much better than a lot of places.

What a lovely casual dining experience. Per the website, they’re closing soon, so I’m glad I got to try it out. Came for brunch & had the Donut Sandwich 🤯 absolutely delicious! The combination of sweet & savory was a pleasant delight. Also tried the Bacon Waffle—the caramelized apples are sweet perfection. The staff was pleasant and accommodating. Prices are very reasonable and the portion sizes are generous. Restaurant is a such a gem, hate to see it close.

My wife and I went to this place for date night and it did not disappoint. It's a bar, but not loud like most sports bars. It had a very calm atmosphere. The service was impeccable; however the star of the show was the food. We only ordered small plates, but they do have entrees. We started with the chicken skins, Belgium Mussels, and duck wings. The chicken skins were crispy, hot, and well seasoned. They came with a spicy sesame sauce that balanced the fattiness of the skins. The duck wings were our personal favorite. They were plump, juicy, and the sauce was addictive. They were not greasy nor gamey. With every bite the meat came clean off the bone. The mussels were amazing as well. You could drink the broth; it was that good; however, not to offend, I recommend just asking for extra bread. We also had the truffle fries, which were hot, crispy, and not over seasoned. We had the fried shrimp as well. They had good flavor. Again, they were crispy and not greasy. The seasoning was good as well. The brussel sprouts were our least favorite. They were overcooked and really didn't taste like anything. Please see the attached pictures. Overall, I would recommend this place for dates or just going out with friends. Give it a try.

Had dinner here with 14 other people and had a great time. We shared a lot of plates and most of the food was fantastic. They have a great beer selection, with 40 on tap! The service was good. We liked the short rib, sirloin on crispy rice, Brussels sprouts and Dr pepper ribs. All delicious!

First time visitor with my family, did my research, and it WAS EVERYTHING as advertised. Beautiful place with its on chic-retro vibe, clean, excellent customer service, and THE FOOD was TOP NOTCH-both in quality, taste and presentation, and was not overpriced like some places based on what you “actually get”. I got Dr. Pepper ribs and the Mr. got braised ribs. They were Amazing! It was hard to choose entrees because the entire menu is full of excellent choices; there’s something for EVERYONE-no matter your food preference or diet type. I will visit again…..and again!

TL;DR: A beer nerd’s dream with food way better than it needed to be, perfect vibes, and staff that felt like friends. RIP, legend. Not much to say… except this place absolutely slapped. Meddlesome Moth had one of the best draft beer selections in the city (basically a hoppy encyclopedia), food that went way beyond “bar food,” and a staff that made you feel like a regular even if it was your first visit. The interior? Sexy without trying. The patio? Cottagecore meets craft beer. Every visit felt like a warm hug with a cold pint. Gone too soon—but never forgotten. Cheers to the memories.

My friend and I popped into The Rustic in Dallas this past Saturday, and while the place was absolutely packed—a good sign, really—we were pleasantly surprised to snag a table for two right away, even without a reservation! The atmosphere was buzzing, set by some really fantastic live music that made the whole experience feel energetic and fun. We both went for the brunch special, which at $21 per person was incredibly affordable. It was a great deal, offering more than enough food to fill us up. We also ordered two mimosas, which were decent but nothing spectacular. The food itself was good, not necessarily "blow-you-away amazing," but certainly satisfying. My personal favorite part of the plate was the little slices of French toast—they were delicious! Overall, the ambience is what really makes The Rustic shine. It's a lively spot with good vibes, affordable prices, and great music. I'd definitely come back to try something different from their regular menu next time!

What a night!!! We chose The Rustic in Dallas to host a gathering of French guests, and it was an absolute success! Everyone had a fantastic time, charmed by the friendly atmosphere, live music, and the warm, welcoming setting. The efficiency of the staff also played a big part in making the evening run smoothly. A special mention to our waiter Blake, who did an excellent job despite a few unexpected circumstances. Always smiling, responsive and professional. Thank you Blake, and thank you to the whole team at The Rustic! We'll definitely come back!

The Rustic offers an awesome ambience with live music that creates a vibrant and enjoyable atmosphere. The food quality and taste are truly amazing. I tried the cactus fries, wild grilled portobello, jalapeño cornbread, and the iced box s’mores dessert — all of which were absolutely delicious. Overall, it's an outstanding restaurant that I would highly recommend.

We were looking for a pet friendly spot to have dinner and we found a great one. Really nice restaurant with a great vibe. Indoor and outdoor seating options but in the outdoor area you can listen to live music as the stage is set outdoors. menu was good, would like a little more variety as it leans heavier to spicy food but we were able to find stuff we liked. If we are in Dallas we will definitely visit again! Service, atmosphere, food and drinks were great.

Very nice open atmosphere !!! 1st time here celebrating my birthday today. The waiter Adrian was great, professional & attentive. Let me tell you I've never laid my eyes on ONION RINGS like these & they are COLOSSAL fried 2 perfection ‼️served w/a spicy dipping sauce. I had The Rustic Burger well done & it was one of those burgers thatvyou have 2 finish because it's that good !! 💯 The house margarita 10/10 Great experience here !!! Thank you for making my day worthwhile Best regards I will return soon 🤩🤩🤩

Came in for Sunday lunch and was promptly sat and then greeted by our server. The menu was delicious and I decided on the salmon burger. The drink menu was extensive and I chose a thc infused canned drink, not worth $13 by any means but I should have just tried a cocktail 😔 will do so next time because I would love to come back!

The Rustic truly has one of the best happy hours in town! The atmosphere is exactly what you want after a long day — laid-back but buzzing, with plenty of space to kick back on the patio while enjoying live music. The food did not disappoint either. The meatballs were hearty and full of flavor, and the smoky queso had just the right balance of creamy and bold — perfect for sharing. But the real surprise star of the night? The kids’ chicken quesadilla! Cheesy, golden, and so delicious that the adults at the table couldn’t help but steal a few bites. Pair it all with their craft cocktails (which are just as good as they look) and the unbeatable vibe of live tunes under the Texas sky, and you’ve got yourself the recipe for a perfect night out.

Great place to gang out on Saturday or Sunday and watch football. They are pet friendly and even have menu items for our 4 legged friends. They have heaters in case it is cold and a great selection of drinks/menu items. There is also live music. If you are looking for a different kind of bar & grill, this is your place.

We had our daughter's Sweet 16th birthday celebration at the Truck Yard Dallas! We rented the Karaoke Airstream and it was THE BEST! It was a memorable night of great food, music and fun! The service was outstanding and I HIGHLY recommend this to anyone who wants a unique experience that is sure exceed your expectations! The food trucks and live music made for such a fun evening. Everyone at her party loved it!

I've pass by this place during my G'ville walks. But the ESPN Dallas Mavs vs Spurs game free Frito pie and Brisket nachos made me stop in. I bought a beer to support. It looks like a great place to enjoy sports and food. I'm going back. Thanks y'all!!!

Had the nachos, they had good flavors and a plentiful amount. The shots came in a bottle which I thought was a bit odd. Also, the is a significant difference in drink quantity, $9 gets you a small drink, and $20 gets you a souvenir boot and a whole lot more drink volume. Not a fan of the online ordering and table delivery. The band played excellent music. Not sure I got bang for the buck but overall, it was a good experience.

Truck Yard is a 10/10 spot. They have a great happy hour and impeccable vibes. There’s a ton of seating which is great, and the live music is awesome. My favorite time to come here is during happy hour. It’s often not crowded and there is live music and plenty of food trucks.

Great location for some very good food. Great place to drink, eat and hangout. Listen to live music and have a great time

Great atmosphere and amazing drinks! The overall experience was really enjoyable, especially with our group of 10 — everyone had a great time. Just a heads-up: if you sit outside around 4 PM, the flies can be a bit bothersome when food is out. The nachos were just okay, which is the main reason for my 3-star rating there. Otherwise, this spot is definitely worth checking out for the vibes and drinks! Oh yeah! Great happy hour drinks and prices

This has been on my must try burger place in DFW. Got a chance on Thursday afternoon. I got there and was not sure on the procedure. One of the wait staff walked by and I told her this is my first time and how do I order my food. She said that she will be taking my order. Ordered Cheese burger with Jalapeños and fries. When the food was ready she got it to the car and took my CC for payment and came back with receipt. Food: Burger was delicious with mustard, jalapeño’s and onions. Fries were on the oily side. All in all a good experience and one burger place off the list.

Just like everyone said, excellent hamburgers, great onion rings and a fantastic 50s vibe. Really enjoyed meeting Casey C. She is super nice, very friendly, and made us laugh. Service was quick efficient and exactly what we ordered. She made good recommendations on what to have. We were there about 1 o’clock on Saturday.

Great nostalgia! This is a staple here in Dallas. The burgers are pretty darn good. The fries are good. Today was a bit of an exception. The service was OK and the food was OK. When I have been to this location in the past multiple times, the food has been good and Service has been good as well. I give this location of five on the atmosphere scale because of the history and there are truly no other places like it . This place is one of a kind in this modern world with drive-through or corporate owned wannabe pull up burger joints ….. this one stands alone. I would recommend you stop by. It’s also good people watching.

Ordered a burger and chili fries. Use to come here all the time back in the day. I remember the food being better, to be honest. The burger was ok, nothing wrong with it. Lacked a little seasoning. The chili fries were just bad. The service was very good. The place is old and it shows, has a charm to it.

Old school drive in burger joint. Low prices with great food. An amazing bang for your buck that you can't really find anymore. Had a double bacon cheeseburger with onion rings and a sweet tea and it was $11. You will be hard pressed to find a better burger and even if you did, you would probably have to pay 2-3 times the price. There is a reason I'm a die hard regular here.

Total dive place and I loved it. I mean, what’s not to love in a business this run down that puts out some of the tastiest food for such a low price? The #5 Special burger and onion rings were both perfectly cooked, and sent me on down the road happy. I made the detour in my trip plans to try this place and it did not disappoint.

Great food. Awesome nostalgia. Want to call out a review below from Amanda who called her waitress 'homeless' and then had the audacity to complain about how her waitress walked away upset after not leaving a tip. I would have been upset too. Stop being a cheap ass and tip your servers or stay home and eat.

One of the better hole-in-the-wall Tex-Mex spots I’ve been to. I thoroughly enjoyed the food & experience here! My wife took me here for Father’s Day, and while the outside of the building may not be as inviting, you’re missing a true treat if you don’t go inside. This spot is perhaps better suited for lunch dates, a bar stop on the way home, or a cozy date for you & the misses in the evening. Although there was “families” here during my visit, the space of the restaurant appears more suited for smaller & intimate parties. The workers were very inviting and warm in their service. Food was delicious!! I had the grilled tacos & they were the absolute BOMB!💣 Drinks were solid & refreshing as well! My only complaint is the space of the venue. When it’s packed, it’s packed. But in the end, you work with what you have & boy, E-Bar does just that! I highly recommend!

Our first time in Dallas and all our Uber drivers recommended E Bar. We are so glad we listened to them. The food was delicious. Best salsa on the planet. Our server had great suggestions. If we are ever back in Dallas, E Bar will be a must stop on the trip.

Came here on cinco de mayo for lunch. Our server was so inviting and sweet, she was also super attentive (wish I knew her name). I order the steak fajitas and elote Mexican corn. Baby, everything was a 10/10. I love that this place is such a hidden gem and ducked off. I love supporting small businesses and this place is amazing. I will be coming back, regularly. Oh yeah, the queso was amazing as well! It was even better as leftovers the next day! Highly recommend 🫶🏽

Service was very quick and friendly. Several large screen tvs so great place to watch four games at once if you want. The salsa was delicious. The brisket and carnita tacos were stuffed and delicious, not the absolute best I have ever had but close. The Cob Salad was packed as well including jumbo shrimp, chicken, and bacon. Spent about $40 on two entrees. Money well spent. Will definitely be returning!

This little Tex-Mex restaurant packed a big punch. It was delicious everything from the chips and salsa to the fajitas. Enchiladas beans and rice was excellent. We did have a little bit of a wait, but it was the weekend and at peak time so not to be unexpected. we were able to sit outside in the area with chairs and drink a beer and people watch. We were seated the enclosed patio are which had great air-conditioning and our waitress was Mia . She was a delightful young lady that has an attention for detail and anticipates your needs. She was knowledgeable about the menu and the drink menu. We will definitely be back And have told our friends about this great little gem of a restaurant.

The food is fantastic. We had the chicken and steak nachos and the cheese enchiladas with chile con carne. Both plates were very flavorful. Some of the best I’ve had. The ambiance was energetic. Parking can be a challenge, however.

I had some tacos and they were delicious. Good Service and a nice outside space. Cold beers, margaritas, and good food. What else is there to ask for?

We have been patrons of La Duni for many years, back when they were at Northpark mall & McKinney locations. We were passing through Dallas on the way home and wanted to go back! The current location is in an industrial area- so restaurant seating is Intimate and seats about ~10 so we were so lucky to get a seat right away on Saturday for lunch! Don’t let the outside industrial vibe scare you off, their food and bakery and coffee is just as solid as it was 10 + years ago even at their larger locations. We loved being able to visit with the owners in this current setting- enjoyed a wonderful lunch of chilaquiles, huevos con carnitas and coffees. The quality is 💯💯 and they care very much about delivering excellent quality & service. We bought bakery items to enjoy at home because our bellies were so full and happy! 🥰🥰 we are so glad they are here for all to enjoy their amazing meals and bakery items! People were buying so many cakes for Easter as well. Check them out you won’t be disappointed! ♥️♥️

This charming spot has easily become one of my favorite places in the city. It's a coffee shop and restaurant that feels uniquely special in every sense. From the moment you step inside, the ambiance transports you, offering a slice of life that feels worlds away from Texas. Its intimate setting fosters a wonderfully communal spirit; you're almost guaranteed to meet friendly new people, creating the warm feeling of being part of one giant family. The food is fantastic, with massive portions that are only rivaled by the amazing, mouthwatering flavors. The chilaquiles are an absolute must-try! However, the most special thing about this place is its incredible selection of unique coffees and baked goods. They are the true stars of the show and the reason I can never leave empty-handed. A visit isn't complete until I'm walking out with a big bag of their treats to enjoy later. This place is a true gem.

Found this gem during a visit to the state fair. Tried their cuatro leches in a jar and it was so delicious.the owner said they had a restaurant and my husband and I decided to give it a try before our flight back home and it didn’t disappoint. The chilaquiles and carnitas and egg plates were so good. They also have a lot of coffee options. You can’t go wrong here. Definitely will come back next time we fly in to Dallas.

It’s true that seating is very limited, but the food was so good and the atmosphere was perfect!! The service was very friendly. The coffee was amazing. We got the conchas and capuccinos and the steak & egg breakfast. The breakfast potatoes are awesome and the salsas too! Not spicy. The guacamole was amazing! Little spicy. They have a cotton candy robot machine!

It’s a three table restaurant so I sat outside at a little two seater on the stoop. Everything was delicious. I ordered the torta cubana with yucca fries, both had so much flavor and the chimichurry was out of this world. I had to try the buttery popover and it too was so good. The coffee was excellent and served with a delicious little cookie. If you are lucky enough to get a place to sit on a Saturday morning you will not regret the experience.

Good for the soul. Was having the most unfortunate day I won't bore you with. Searched for a coffee place that I could get some work done while I waited indefinitely. The location was concerning but I leaned into being spontaneous. Chatted with a nice customer at a table and I got what he got, Carne Asada. Words fail me here. For context, I never buy steak because I can usually make a steak better than I can buy it. Sous vide, smoked, aged etc. Point being I know good steak because I've been working the craft for years and this is possibly the 2nd best prepared steak I've ever had in my life. The beans were perfectly seasoned, the plantains were exceptional and the peppers with cheese sauce were everything my heart needed in this moment. If you come here and decide you don't like the food, go see a doctor. Your taste buds are broken. Sincere thanks to the operators here for putting so much pride into their product.

✨ The Pollo Asado absolutely blew me away. I have never had a dish with so many elements, each cooked to absolute perfection. The grilled chicken was juicy and smoky, the rice fluffy, the plantains perfectly caramelized, and the black beans were rich, silky, and seasoned just right. Every bite felt intentional and balanced. It honestly transported me to a culinary gem somewhere in Curaçao or the Bahamas—vibrant, soulful, and unforgettable.

I was super excited to see that Cattleack was Michelin rated especially smelling the food when you walk in. I was eager to give it a try because the reviews were so promising. I even heard that this place was better than Pecan Lodge, which is one of my personal favorite BBQ places in DFW. My coworkers and I wanted to go to lunch and I had told them that I found this place we can check out. Mind you some of them do not eat beef and I told them they have turkey as an alternative option and saw they had some specials on Jerk chicken. When we arrived around noon, we realized that they were completely sold out of turkey, beef ribs, and moist brisket. I was completely shocked and upset because it seemed too early to be running out of food and I felt horrible for recommending this place to my coworkers that there were some poultry meat options. They ended up eating only sides while some of us ate beef. I ended up ordering half lb of burnt ends to compensate for not having moist brisket. 1/4 of lean brisker. 1 spicy Texan sausage, side of burnt ends beans and hatch Mac and cheese with some jalapeños, pickles and onions. All for $56 which I thought was kinda steep for the quality of the food on my opinion. I didn’t get to finish my food because I didn’t care to eat it after a few bites. I brought leftovers to my wife and she didn’t care for it either I’m very specific on what I like and knowing that they didn’t have moist brisket was a deal breaker. I ended up trying the lean with burnt ends. There was no wow factor like I’ve had with other places like Hutchins. Everything on the menu has a slight sweetness to me, the burnt end beans, the pickles, even the jalapeños had a hint of sweetness to it. I’m all for a tiny hint of sweetness to bbq sauce but not on everything. This was not something I was expecting from the flavor profile I personally look into. The burnt ends had a good texture, slightly salty but with a sweet undertone. The lean brisket was a lean as it can be. Some people would prefer it, but just not my cup of tea. The hot spicy Texan texture was not it. Don’t care for the sausage at all. I probably won’t get any of their sausage. I honestly not sure if I would come back or recommend this restaurant to any bbq connoisseur. Maybe it’s me or maybe it’s just bad timing. Regardless I’m not sure if I’m ready to go back just yet. For now I’m sticking with Hutchins and Pecan Lodge and a few other places like Hurtado’s and even Zavala’s bbq. Those places I do recommend on going.

“Where Wednesday through Friday lunches turn into Texas-sized flavor rodeos.” TL;DR: Brisket with bark you can hear crunch in your dreams, sausage with a kick like a rodeo bull, turkey that’ll make you consider switching holiday traditions, and banana pudding that could settle family feuds. Stamp 17 earned with a full belly and a happy heart. It was mid-morning Friday, and I was on a mission. The 17th stamp in my Texas Monthly BBQ passport had my name on it, and Cattleack BBQ was calling louder than a dinner bell on a ranch. Doors open just three days a week, plus a rare first Saturday each month, so you know this joint doesn’t play around. I rolled up at 10:30 and lucked out, no line stretching outside this time. The smell of smoked meat hit me like a freight train hauling mesquite logs. I struck up a chat with a couple fresh from San Antonio making their first pilgrimage here. We swapped BBQ war stories, counting down the minutes until meat nirvana. Thirty minutes later, I was face-to-face with the counter of dreams. My tray filled fast: brisket, turkey, sausage, pork ribs, and those dark, glistening burnt ends. For sides, potato salad and street corn because a man needs his veggies, and cornbread that looked like it could win state fair ribbons. The grand finale, banana pudding, standing proud like a trophy in a plastic cup. This meal had some kick. The sausage packed enough heat to make a grown man tear up with joy, the street corn brought a fiesta of spice and lime, and the cornbread had attitude, the kind that separates the bold from the meek. The turkey? Absolute perfection, juicy slices with seasoning that danced across every bite. The ribs and brisket had solid flavor but leaned on the firmer side, still worth every chew and every napkin used. Like the good husband I am, I boxed up a few treasures for the side dish queen back home: turkey, cornbread, and banana pudding. That evening, she declared the turkey a hit, called the cornbread too fiery for her royal palate, and anointed the banana pudding “great” with a satisfied smile. Stop 17 is stamped, sealed, and delivered into BBQ history. Thirty-three more shrines of smoked glory await my pilgrimage. Final dad line: I told my wife this BBQ was hotter than a Texas sidewalk in August. She said, “That explains why you’re sweating like a brisket on the pit.”

I ordered Brisket,sausage links,corn bread,mac&cheese, street corn, and Burnt ends. I gotta say I love love the burnt ends! That’s truly what hooked me the most from this place. The second would be their street corn. I wish the meats,cornbread and the Mac&cheese were warmer…had them turn cold pretty quick. Brisket is soft and breaks easily👍🏼. Corn bread, seemed to have been made a day old or out in the air for little too long. Mac&cheese decent . The chili cheese links were alright for me. Nothing bad, did have a high expectation of this place. Still worth checking it out

It is a decent place to enjoy barbecue. The place is on a busy street which creates a parking problem. You may have to park and walk for 5 mins. There could be a 30-45 min wait depending on weather and time. Especially around 9-10 AM the chances of standing in the line are high. Brisket and ribs were dry and over priced. The wagyu brisket was quite dry. Burnt ends were quite tough to chew. Their dirty rice is good but excess spices, especially black pepper masks the true flavor of original spices. Overall the meat rub has very concentration of black pepper which creates a burning sensation in mouth. Brisket was not tender and if you plan on carrying some home, it may not remain moist next day. Overall, it is not a place worth standing in long lines. It is an average place which may have served good bbq sometime ago.

This was quite possibly the most amazing food I have ever had in my life. Forget just barbecue I would say food in general! I might just be a small timer from Vermont so my taste buds aren’t fully developed, but that was some amazing food. Make sure to get enough to bring home because you’re not going to want to stop eating.

Definitely, one of the best BBQ in Texas. Wow everything was spectacular. Customer service was amazing, and food was out this world. There is a reason why Michelin only mentioned and recommended this BBQ place in North Texas. Just amazing! 🙌🏻

As a self-proclaimed DFW barbecue critic, I’ve made my way through nearly every acclaimed smokehouse in the metroplex. Goldee’s set the gold standard, easily first place, with Pecan Lodge a distant second. I had high hopes for Cattleack after its Michelin recognition. I arrived on a rainy Saturday at 10:30am, finally reaching the counter at noon. My tray included brisket, beef rib, pork rib, burnt ends, sausage, and mac and cheese. The brisket, barbecue’s true benchmark, was disappointing: dry, flavorless, with little bark and pockets of unrendered fat. The pork rib was tough and difficult to pull from the bone. The beef rib didn’t impress me, though my companions deemed it “okay.” Burnt ends and sausage were decent, but not enough to rescue the plate. Even the mac and cheese missed the mark. At $150, the meal was hard to justify, especially when the dryness of the meats was obvious even in photos. Barbecue is notoriously difficult to execute with consistency, but that’s what separates the good from the great. Based on my experience, I wouldn’t return. Cattleack simply didn’t live up to its reputation.

OMG! I came here for the first for Saturday Brunch . From the time I walked into the door, the service was AWESOME! Our waiter Ryan was AMAZING! He was attentive and funny! Great sense of humor! The food was DELICIOUS! I had the Chicken Tenders with pancakes! I had them dip the tenders in the hot sauce they use and it was AMAZING (thank me later)! Y’all gotta try this place!

Whistle Britches is awesome! Excellent food, great service and the atmosphere at this Dallas location is incredible! Now, they are known for their chicken dishes - the tacos are simply the best…and so are those chicken and pancakes - but I also tried the smash burger and that was great too! Very good sweet tea and biscuits too.

I am definitely coming back! I appreciated the customer service. The buffalo cauliflower was delicious! And the Mexican street corn 🤤🤤🤤🤤 The chicken and biscuit was alright. I LOVE fried chicken and to me, the batter wasn’t as flavorful. The biscuit was a bit hard. The mashed potatoes taste like butter (which was not all the way bad but could use seasoning.) Otherwise, it was good nonetheless.

Had a nice dinner. The Hot Dang (spicy chicken) sandwich was recommended and it was good. The cornbread was also tasty. I thought the coconut cream pie was just OK and wouldn't recommend it. Thickest crust I've ever seen on a pie and it wasn't a great crust. Overall, I enjoyed dinner and was glad I tried it. It's a bit heavy for me to eat regularly but tasty enough to add to the list of hot spots.

This is a solid brunch pick, you can’t go wrong with the Chicken N’ Waffles and the Three Cheese Mac. 🤤 The Pickled Jalapeño Pimento Cheese is pretty good, and the deviled eggs are decent but you could probably do with them. I feel like we all liked the Buffalo cauliflower and corn fritters, but my minds a little fuzzy on those. Overall, a great pick, service has been good at each visit and the foods always hot and fresh.

Everything was chicken based, but they do offer meatloaf and fried catfish! Food was decent, our waiter was great! Very patient guy. Fun first time experience, not sure if I would go back. I placed my order with the table and didn’t receive it till 15 minutes into everyone already having there’s. Which wasn’t a major issue because the table was willing to share.

Some average to good fried chicken. The pancakes were huge and there are 3 of those, the tender came with it were good. Although the fried chicken on the chicken benny came warm-cold, which I don’t understand, did we got a dish someone canceled? Also the booth I sat in was so unstable, that I was interrupted by the people sat on the other side all the time, which was 100% not their fault. The dinning experience was just very not good.
